From Bad to Worse. Now Remote Access Not Working

There’s been no change to kill remote access from PMS. It’s more likely there’s been some change to your remote access „situation“. There’s a lot of aspects outside your control, e.g. ISPs can apply filters or change their backbone.

I recommend you review your router config.
If you haven’t done yet, go for a manual port forward instead of using UPnP, and test if the router & forwarded public port are accessible from outside your home network (e.g. using a service like canyouseeme.org).
