Well using the tunneling function of netFIELD cloud is a service that is for free since it was made initially made by us for maintenance purposes ... at the moment you can use it unlimited time. But for any connection we will be charged by the provider. So in one of the next cloud release version we will be either time limiting this feature or the end customer has to pay for it for unlimited time use as with usual other VPN connection provider.
Nevertheless in general a customer using netFIELD Cloud functions need an account for it to use this function anyways. In order to use the port forwaring function you have to setup port forwarding to the IP address of the Siemens PLC you want to talk to. This shouldn't be a problem. But make sure you have configured an IP address/Network mask for cifx0 that is in the same subnet as the Siemens PLC.
