Ok so I don't understand this at all bc I suck at networking stuff.
192.168.1.1 is my default gateway
192.168.1.105 is my LAN ip
82.221.20.235 is my WAN ip (not really)
When I run nmap scans against these 3 ips, here are my results:
82.221.20.235:
22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 7.6p1 Debian 2 (protocol 2.0)
23/tcp open telnet BusyBox telnetd
80/tcp open http Asus RT-N56U WAP http config
443/tcp open ssl/http Microsoft HTTPAPI httpd 2.0 (SSDP/UPnP)
Device type: general purpose
Running: Linux 3.X|4.X
192.168.1.1 Default gateway
21/tcp open ftp vsftpd 2.0.8 or later
22/tcp open ssh Dropbear sshd 2015.71 (protocol 2.0)
23/tcp open telnet BusyBox telnetd
53/tcp open domain dnsmasq 2.75
80/tcp open http Asus RT-N56U WAP http config
192.168.1.105: LAN (ifconfig)
22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 7.6p1 Debian 2 (protocol 2.0)
70/tcp open http pygopherd web-gopher gateway
Device type: general purpose
Running: Linux 3.X|4.X
Port 22: LAN and WAN both running OpenSSH but default gateway is running Dropbear?
Port 23: WAN and gateway running BusyBox but not LAN--port closed?
Port 80: WAN and gateway match 'Asus RT-N56U http config' but not LAN--port closed?
Port 21: open on gateway but not LAN or WAN?
Port 70: LAN running pygopherd, ports closed on WAN and gateway?
*Port 443 Only open on WAN, running Microsoft HTTPAPI but my computer is Linux. It was Windows at one time before I uninstalled it to install kali.
Also....ok so I have a default gateway ip and a LAN ip. So when I port forward using my router's settings, which am I setting? The default gateway or LAN ip address? So confusing
If anyone could help me understand what the hell is going on I'd appreciate it. I don't get it at all. Also I thought my LAN ip was communicating to the outside using my WAN so what the heck is the default gateway about? The services running on my router? Thanks.

The gateway IP is your router IP, it's like a tunnel for connecting your LAN IP to the Internet (WAN IP)
Example:
curl ifconfig.me. When you do this your LAN IP will request information to ifconfig.me, but it start from your LAN IP, going through the gateway and ending at WAN IP, for the website answer it's the inverse side (WAN IP --> GATEWAY --> LAN IP)
I hope you will understand : )
