Hello fellow reefer [:D] I have been using apex controller for ages. Basically you will have to create definitions for port 1198:1199 TCP. I can then use the fusion website and turn the controller on and off. It does't use any other ports for working via fusion website.

OPTIONAL For updating firmware, I go to the fusion website and downlad the firmware and apply it locally. This reduces error conditions and a failed internet connection or power outage won't brick your device. To be honest I haven't updated in a while so not sure but you will probably need port 80,443 and 53udp open for the controller to access the internet.

NOT NEEDED The apex manual says something about incoming port 80 and you will have to

DNAT src internet >service http >goint to external address

Change destination to apex fusion address

I never open these devices to the internet specially when you can control it from the fusion website anyway. No need to expose it to the internet when not needed.
