Is there a way to make it so that I can browse to A.dyndns.org:81

There are many things that can be done, but I have to ask; what is the advantage of accessing it via the "external" A.dyndns.org ip address?

To me, this just seems like added complexity with no real benefit.

I did all that. Could be the ad-blocking in my browser that kills it -- but frankly I can't digest video tutorials even in languages I understand.

That's why I suggested you using subtitles (forgot to mention with the option "Auto-translate" :) ) Yeah, that option exists but causes no CC at all (for me, anyway). I didn't know there was an auto-translate feature until @TheCat12 mentioned it. To get it to work you must do several thin...

The issue appears to be that the switch I am using does not allow for a gateway configuration for the management interface IP and therefore it doesn't know to route to any other network.
