Strange thing is happening to my posts in the Ubiquiti forums. When I post there, my posts immediately disappear but show up in my subscription list.

Here is the link directly from my subscriptions list:
https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Routing-Switching/Cloud-Key/m-p/1601447#M17510

Just in case you can't see it, here is my question:

"I have a basic home network with 2 Unifi APs, a couple of dumb switches, and a Unifi Security Gateway. I use an always on Windows PC to run the controller software. I access this software by IP(private)/port from any Chrome browser within the network and accasionally the iOS app. No remote access is permitted to any devices.No static IPs, but a couple of reserved IPs.

I am thinking of getting a Cloud Key. The PC that I am currently using will soon have some of it's parts repurposed. However, what I have read makes me believe that the Cloud Key may require me to set an account with UBNT to gain access. Is this true or can I just attach it to one of my swithces and power it up and then gain access via IP/port? Will is automatically pull an IP from the DHCP server? Can I place it on the network with the current controller software running? (so i can see what IP it has)

What other considerations do I have to make moving to a Cloud Key in my situation?"

I'm sure that I've seen someone on these forums that was using a cloud key and you guys on here are great at helping out.

TIA
