While port forwarding is not required for MobiLinc Connect and your ISY, if you wish to use your Dynamic DNS address to access IP Cameras and other equipment you will still need to port forward through your router to access these items. However, please do not port forward your ISY through your router. This is not required and may cause issues.

Out of the blue my MobiLink will not connect remotely. This happens every now and then but is really a pain to fix when I am remote. So I'm looking to try the ISY Portal solution, BUT...

I searched this board for current info on Mobilinc Pro and cannot find anything. Anyway, I bought the app without realizing that it also uses a Mobilinc Connect and you have to pay a monthly access fee (either my info was incomplete or I didn't read enough to understand this). I don't use it very often so I don't want to pay a monthly fee.

I use mobilinc without mobilinc connect. I just forward the ports on my router and use dyndns (many other companies out there) so that I can type in a specific web link that forwards to me ip address (DNS forwarding service). Port forwarding isn't that hard and it's good to learn how to do it since you may have to do it for other things.

I use Mobilinc Pro without the Connect service. I also don't do port forwarding. Both are for the same reason. I don't want the central controller for my house exposed to the internet.

I haven't tried it (I port forward myself) but one nice thing of Mobilinc Connect is it supports iOS push notifications which can be a nice way to get notices from various things in your house. There are of course lots of other ways to get notifications on your phone like using email or email to text gateway direct from ISY.
