Hi,
I have a project where multiples Ewon Flexy 201 with 4G modems communicates to a server hosted in the cloud through MQTT (we use mosquitto).
Now, because this server has proven to be unreliable, we want to migrate it to a local server.
With the cloud server the communication relied on the fact that the server had a static IP, do I need to have a static IP for the new server aswell? Would this imply to use a VPN and a Firewall like Netgate and pfSense? Are there any other alternatives?
Thanks
Hi,

At some points you'll need a static IP or a static name (using DYNDNS if the IP is dynamic).
