      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?

                                      No, I don't have any rule on WAN or as floating to block all

                                        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.
