      I had hoped that pfsense would have included the patch for MiniUPnP, but according to my testing it doesn't looks like it.
      My pfSense is the exposed host of another router and UPnP still doesn't work.

        That's a limitation in miniupnpd itself, as far as I'm aware they haven't added a way to disable that check. They added some related things to help pf use specific addresses to work around it, but it still won't let you use a private address directly on the WAN.

        Need to raise the issue again with miniupnp and see if they will add a daemon or config file option to disable that check.
