Hi Henrique, OpenWISP Firmware (https://github.com/openwisp/OpenWISP-Firmware) is part of the openwisp1 generation and requires a management VPN to work.
In the new openwisp2 architecture, the management VPN is not needed. You may add it if you need to SSH into the devices from a central server, but it's not a requirement. As you saw yourself, the openwisp2 configuration deamon ( https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-config) uses HTTPs and therefore is suited to be used behing a NAT. We successfully used it to manage 4G devices as well.
