2.4.5 broke UPNP

[stephenw10]

You can edit /var/etc/miniupnpd.conf and add ext_ip=x.x.x.x.
Of course that will be lost is you make any changes to the upnp config etc but it should at least allow it to start for now.

@stephenw10 That didn't do it for me:

[stephenw10]

Hmm, you still see errors from miniupnpd logged?

[Bob.Dig]

@stephenw10 I anonymized it.

[stephenw10]

Hmm, you're using IPv6? And that worked in 2.4.4p3?

You might also try this: https://forum.netgate.com/post/901337

However it looks like maybe you are hitting something different.

Adding the ext_ip line works for me, I looks like you're hitting some other issue:

Ha, I should have read the bug report more carefully.

So no need to edit the file, you can create that line from the webgui using the override WAN IP field anyway. But it still doesn't work because: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10398#note-2

@stephenw10 Thanks Steve, Let's hope it'll get fixed ore something is done like "Merlin" did, which is btw a great product(-enhancement).

[Bob.Dig]

So they probably fixed it, to bad I can't test it myself, because I have no clue how I would and don't asky my why I have an account on github in the first place...

[stephenw10]

...my account on github is only for complaining...

Hi folks, I've just solved that issue setting the WAN interface as PPPoE.

[stephenw10]

It allows you to use a private IP as WAN for UPnP?

How do you get the IP if that's the case?

Steve

[UTxCipo]

@stephenw10 while trying, I've put in the operator router IP, and the WAN ip itself, UPnP in some case had started to respond but my services was still closed in...

With PPPoE the WAN interface now shows the operator router public IP

[stephenw10]

Oh you mean like PPPoE pass-through on the ISP device? So pfSense gets the public IP directly?

That would certainly do it but it's not usually an option. If it is you should be doing that anyway.

Steve

[UTxCipo]

@stephenw10 I mean here:

Nothing was done within the ISP device. :)

[stephenw10]

Hmm, interesting. You would not normally be able to just change the WAN to PPPoE (from dhcp?). The ISP and the ISPs router would need to already be configured for that.
