      maybe, but it was working with 23.05.1
      I have an ip intercom which needs upnp and it doesn't work.
      in the logs I see

      Nov 16 21:48:59	miniupnpd	69075	Port forwarding is now disabled
      

      how can I enable it ?

        I find a solution
        I changed in /var/etc/miniupnpd.conf
        port=2189 to port=1900
        and now It works
        there are some rules in upnp status

          Hmm, interesting. That's not any different to 23.05.1. That's the port miniupnpd itself uses.

            @stephenw10 so I not a fan or a user of upnp.. But I just enabled it to have it create the .conf file and yup it put in 2189 which doesn't make any sense

            [23.09-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/var/etc: cat miniupnpd.conf 
            ext_ifname=igb1
            port=2189
            listening_ip=igb4
            secure_mode=yes
            presentation_url=https://192.168.200.1:8443/
            uuid=da5797c4-0daa-f185-0994-a6afe6c2ecb
            serial=DA5797C4
            model_number=23.09-RELEASE
            enable_upnp=yes
            enable_natpmp=yes
            [23.09-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/var/etc: 
            

            But it is listening on 1900 as well

            [23.09-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/var/etc: sockstat | grep 1900
            root     miniupnpd  77102 7   udp4   *:1900                *:*
            [23.09-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/var/etc: sockstat | grep 2189
            root     miniupnpd  77102 4   tcp6   *:2189                *:*
            root     miniupnpd  77102 6   tcp4   *:2189                *:*
            [23.09-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/var/etc:

              Because that's the port minipnpd listens on the http:
              curl http://192.168.200.1:2189/rootDesc.xml

              As far as I know that can be omitted entirely and miniupnpd will use a random port.

              Setting it to 1900 is probably a bad idea since it should already be listening there. Though for udp.

                @stephenw10 were they come up with that port, I don't show it registered as that.. Pretty sure radware has that registered for something they do radware-rpm-s

                And I concur - setting that port in the config to 1900 prob not a good idea, and I would think really had nothing to do with his issue.. UPnP is UDP.

                  Yeah, unclear. Looks like they removed that over on the other side after deciding it was pointless setting it.

                    I disable port in the conf file and now miniupnpd use a random port.
                    It's still working
                    How can I know if the port 2189 is already use by another service ?

                      do the command I did with sockstat

                          @PiAxel well if its running and you want to know what port it is using do

                          sockstat | grep miniupnpd

                              That seems fine. I have no explanation as to why changing the port value to 1900 seemed to allow it work though. That really shouldn't have changed anything significant.

                                  The problem is back since update 23.09.1
                                  everything seems to be working fine but neither my NAS nor any other network device can open a port via upnp. the games on my pc say that I am in strict NAT.
                                  In pfsense stat upnp is empty.
                                  f6d07078-2e0b-47d8-a9c1-71c6161f3078-image.png

                                  I try with port=0 instead of 2189 but it didn't change anything
                                  2d0856ea-155c-4fc6-a6db-6da1770a278c-image.png

                                  Tell me what you want to know about my pfsense.

                                  Please help me!

                                    I have disabled STUN and there is no more message with "port forwarding is now disabled" but that still doesn't work.

                                      @PiAxel said in miniUPnPd not working since 23.09 (worked in 23.05.1):

                                      STUN: ext interface ix0 has now public IP address external ipv4 but firewall filters incoming connections set by miniunnpd

                                      That implies you have something set that is preventing miniupnpd opening inbound ports somehow.

                                      Do you have a custom block all rule on WAN or as Floating?

                                          Could be something upstream blocking it then. Try to send some traffic to your WAN from some external address and see if it arrives in a packet capture.
