      Is it possible to remove the UPnP capability completely at the FreeBSD OS level? Will it break anything?
      If possible, can someone guide me? Thank You

        You could uninstall the pkg. It probably won't cause any issues if it's not enabled in the gui. But if it's not enabled in the gui it never gets called so it wouldn't do anything. 😉

          I was under the impression that if it was not enabled, it wouldn't be doing anything (inactive) but yet, I've got info in the logs that makes it appear that something is activating it. Any idea how this is possible?

            is it May?

            Are these current or just left over ?

              Check if it's running:

              [2.7.2-RELEASE][admin@t70.stevew.lan]/root: ps aux | grep upnp
root    73895   0.0  0.1  12752   2104  0  S+   19:04        0:00.00 grep upnp

                Wow....that was a kick in the head! Ouch! My apologies for being stupid....
                So focused digging in other logs for snort rule tuning that I didn't even pay attention to the actual timestamp... Sorry to waste your time...

                  Better to be overly vigilant! 😉
