Bum deal. Could you forward that thread so we can see why no UPNP support? (Braden, you might take a look at Smoothwall.org if UPNP is that important.) -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan De Graeve [mailto:Jonathan dot De dot Graeve at imelda dot be] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 12:30 AM To: Braden McGrath Cc: m0n0wall Subject: RE: [m0n0wall] UPnP as a possible future option? We already had this discussion awhile ago and the end result was we didn't want it. So no, it want be in a future build. -- Jonathan De Graeve Network/System Administrator Imelda vzw Informatica Dienst 015/50.52.98 jonathan dot de dot graeve at imelda dot be --------- Always read the manual for the correct way to do things because the number of incorrect ways to do things is almost infinite --------- -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: news [mailto:news at sea dot gmane dot org] Namens Braden McGrath Verzonden: woensdag 30 november 2005 7:02 Aan: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch Onderwerp: [m0n0wall] UPnP as a possible future option? I know there are many on this list who see UPnP as a horrible terrible useless giant gaping security hole. ;) In a corporate setting, I agree 100%. It has no place there. However, for those of us who are using m0n0 at home, the dynamic port forwarding that is enabled by UPnP is a fantastic feature. I can't be the only person who has multiple machines that like to game. Multiple Xboxes - while UPnP isn't *required* for Live to function, things go much smoother if the router speaks UPnP. The final nail in the coffin for me is with BitTorrent. I have several machines that all occasionally need to use BT to grab stuff from the net. For various reasons, I don't want to give them static IPs or assign static port forwards. UPnP is the best way to make this work, since all modern BT clients support it. Again, I realize that UPnP is a feature that some people hate, but that is why there should be a easy to use on/off checkbox next to it... Developers, what do you say? Any chance of seeing a UPnP daemon in a future build? Also, FWIW, I'm unable to resolve mono.ch this evening, from my own nameservers or a third party. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch ll dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch |
