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
