      I was testing my setup the other day w/ 1.2.3, Dual-WAN, w/ UPNP…  the 2nd WAN's port is not properly opened...  I use uTorrent's port testing wizard to test the ports.  As soon as I swapped the cables, it verified my hunch that it is pfSense's UPnP's fault....  Any ideas?  Do I need to manually configure UPnP beyond the basics?

        I'm not sure if miniupnpd supports multiple WANs or not, offhand.

        Its config file has the external interface hardcoded, for example:

        ext_ifname=ng0
        

        I'm not sure if that will take a comma-separated list, but you could try it and see what happens.

          I REALLY like using UPnP, I tried forwarding OPT1 manually and it worked, so it's UPnP for Multi-WAN setup does not currently work.  Perhaps an extra menu item to select which available WAN interfaces the administrator would like enable UPnP?  This would enhance security a bit I guess…

            That might be doable for 2.x
