UPnP support
-
Thanks for figuring that out. I have verified this behavior and will try and fix it. It only happens on my box if log packets is checked. This is what you found right?
EDIT: I found the issue. I wll commit this in a few and you can either reinstall the package again or in the web gui goto diagnostics -> edit file.
Open /usr/local/www/status_upnp.php
Find the following line
if (preg_match("/rdr on (.) inet proto (.) from any to any port = (.) label "(.)" -> (.) port (.)/", $rdr_entry, $matches))
and remove "rdr ". It should look like the below
if (preg_match("/on (.) inet proto (.) from any to any port = (.) label "(.)" -> (.) port (.)/", $rdr_entry, $matches))

Great, thx! Yes, I just retested and the problem was only with log packets and not the time option.

Just want to say thanks to all who made this package work so well. I was able to remove the forwarded port mappings for uTorrent and eMule and both are opening and closing the needed ports perfectly. I tested this with Windows SSDP and UPnP services disabled and both still work. uTorrent has UPnP built into it, but you have to use the eMule MorphXT version of eMule to get UPnP built in.

hello
Great work.. but seams to MiniUpnpd service is attached to BASE system and additionally, still exist in packages available to install.
Now, I have two the same entries in menu ;Dregards

MichaelDe-install the package, then reapply the update. We'll pull it from the packages list once we have an actual release that contains this in base :)

BTW:
uPNP is not too important for me, but nice that it works, but:cosmetically it would look much better when called uPNP in the GUI, not miniupnpd i think…
and would it be possible to have a checkbox to activate or deactivate, since it's built in to pfsense by now ?
as in the RIP package, there is a way to enable or disable... would be some kind of essential i think...

Martin

Don't select any interfaces and its not enabled. If you've selected an interface and want to deselect it hold the ctrl key and click the selected interface. Save the settings. Look in the log it will say something like
miniupnpd: syncing package
miniupnpd: no interfaces found stopping service -
Can you add this as description somewhere in the gui? I think this will become a faq if it's not noted there.

I'll do that as well as removing the the syslog messages unless the service is active. That way there is no confusion whether its active or not.

Great :)

If it's just as easy, why not put an "Enable UPnP" checkbox? That way there is no confusion and if it's unchecked you KNOW that it's not running..
Again, if it's just as easy..
Thanks!!

I'd find it better, too… with a checkbox...
else, why is the miniupnpd listed in the packages tab when it's included in the pfsense itself ?

Its listed in the packages tab because its not included in an official release yet. Once it is, it will be removed from the packages list.
Yes its easy to add a checkbox, but I really don't understand why. Its redundant to the interfaces box. A check is just as easy to spot as a highlighted interface. ;) ;)
The thing is then if you select the checkbox miniupnpd might not be running because no interfaces are selected.
Let me discuss this and I'll get back to you two on it.

I answered that something like 5 posts back.

I updated miniupnpd to version 20061214. I added the checkbox to enable it, and changed the format of miniupnpd to MiniUPnPd on the menu. Let me know if theres anything else you see that should be changed.

Sorry I haven't read through this whole thread, but I have a question.
I'm coming as a m0n0wall user that needs UPnP support. Do any of the later builds have this already installed in pfsense? Or is it still a manual process to get it added? I need this functionality to make an H.323 video application work. http://www.polycom.com/products_services/0,,pw-4367,00.html
I'll be using the embedded (WRAP) image.
Thanks!

if this is a embedded or livecd install. fetch yourself a snapshot from http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/
If this is a HD install. Download 1.0.1 and install the package through the package menu.

Got the latest one there. Thanks!

Edit: UPnP seems to be working, but there is nothing ever listed in the UPNP Status page.
Also, once you've entered some information in the miniupnpd Settings tab, is there ever a way to stop or clear the firewall from using UPnP short of resetting back to factory defaults? How do you stop or restart the service? -
let's see, there is a enable disable checkbox.
Status -> Services displays the current status.
And the upnp status does display created port mapping. If there is nothing mapped, there is nothing to see. The rest goes into the system log. -
Where is the enable/disable checkbox? Not on the 12-23-2006 build I'm using.
