Nope - uPNP is utter utter crap.

You have in m0n0wall a complete routing solution.  The answer to protect
your game box is to put it in a DMZ, and to totally disallow all access
to/from your DMZ through to/from your LAN port/s

If you have more than one routable IP you are set.  However if you're
IP-challanged like us in New Zealand then you'll have to be a little
sneakier.

Subject: [m0n0wall] uPNP in future versions? or how can I do this?


Are there any plans to include uPNP in a future version?

I am pretty sure I know the risks, but this is what I'm trying to do, so
what is the right way to do it?

 

I have a game system that needs ports forwarded to it, but each game needs
different ports.

 

I could put it in a DMZ, but I have a cable modem with one dynamic IP
address, so I can't simply forward all ports for one address to the machine
in the DMZ.

From what I understand, I need uPNP.  Is there another way to do this?

 

Thanks,

tom
