[SOLVED] esp8266 no longer connects

My ESP8266 project connected to my garage door was working fine and my power went out. When the power came back on my esp8266 gets a “connecting to cloud.blynk.cc:8442” repeatedly.
The troubleshooting tips suggests that my router is blocking port 8442. I tried using putty.exe to telnet on port 8442 and get a connection refused message.
My router logs show both my telnet and the esp8266 packets being accepted.

any suggestions?
Here’s my output from the debug and the router log

[4222] Connected to WiFi
[4222] My IP: 192.168.1.155

[25005] Connecting to cloud.blynk.cc:8442

Update the Blynk library. Reflash the hardware.

cloud.blynk.cc is no longer supported

Thanks for the quick reply…That fixed it!
