netgear insight cloud switch
I'm trying to be able to get insight cloud to connect to my devices over the internet. All i found was this https://kb.netgear.com/000062467/Which-domains-and-ports-should-I-open-on-my-firewall-for...

I can only assume this means that insight is unable to reach my managed switch over the internet.
The insight cloud does never establish a connection over port forwarding.
Possible reason the Insight Cloud control can't talk to the switch is because the switch failed to establish a connection -to- the Internet and the cloud. To much things blocked on your firewall outgoing?
All this works very similar to MyQNAPcloud you are used to.
The local admin password pushed from the cloud is for the local device login from your LAN, rarely required.

i found your old post
you mentioned it could also possibly be isp dns which is messing with insight from working.
So i'll try that out on the asus later and see if that fixes it or not.
