      I have two DSL lines in use. One is the WAN which I use for http, ftp, imap, smtp, etc. The other, OPT1, I use for everything else (p2p mostly). Is there any way to make miniupnpd use OPT1 instead of WAN?

        I don't think there is a way to do this currently.

          Thats what I didnt want to hear… I do know one workaround, I could just switch everything that goes through WAN to OPT1 and everything that goes to OPT1 to WAN. Then enable UPNP and everything would work fine... I was just hoping there was a way to do all of this without all that extra work.

              Any idea as to what the "Override WAN Address" box does? Sounds like something that might be helpful…

                Generally used for CARP installations to override the miniupnp listening address.  Might work.

                  So to try that out would I put in the address of the gateway connected to opt1 (192.168.1.1) or the address assigned to OPT1 (192.168.1.10)?

                      I know for a fact that the statistics reported back for Packets/Btyes Sent/Recevied uses the interface name only so those will be incorrect.

                      The port mappings will probably function, but I can't be sure of this. The correct way would be to modify the package to correctly set ext_ifname. The thing is that this will probably confuse most users as then they would have to correct set the internal interface and external interface.

                        That was totally over my head… I've been using pfsense for some time now, but anything outside of the normal interface is beyond me. I would really like to have upnp set up and working but it isn't critical. If you have any other simple or very detailed ideas they are more then welcome I would be more then happy to try them...
