IPCT DDNS questions

[Kelly Murphy]

Okay, I'm a bit fuzzy here. First time using IPCTDDNS. Be gentle.

I have a ddns host name set up. xxx.ipctddns.com
I have the correct API key in BIT, and it returns the current IP address when tested.
I have a port forwarding rule set up on my router. WAN port 101, LOCAL ip 192.168.1.11 Local port 81
In blue iris I have "Remote External (WAN internet access) set to http:// x.x.x.x.:81 (x.x.x.x. being current accurate public ip.

I try to hit site xxx.ipctddns.com or xxx.ipctddns.com:101

Yet, no joy. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Resolved. I believe everything was set up correctly, but one component, perhaps the router, had other ideas for port 81. Changed both LAN and WAN ports to 91, and everything flowed.
