The Remote Host works as advertised.
We have multiple clients that use this feature.
If you don’t specify a port, it uses the default port for the PLC that you’re using.
IE: Siemens, port 102. AB micrologix, 44818. Modbus, 502 and so on.
So if you enter “honeypot.dyndns.org” on a micrologix connector, it’ll automatically add 44818 because that’s the port that micrologix PLC’s listen on. So you would have to forward that port.
If you enter “honeypot.dyndns.org:44101”
And forward that port on the router, it will NOT work because Micrologix PLC’s only listen on port 44818. So you have to do a port redirect in your router.
Original port: 44101
Foreword to address: 192.168.1.101 (PLC IP)
Forward to Port: 44818
