Ah… and turning off the log now shows my upnp mappings on the status page. Cool. Thanks!

Check out http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,551.msg17500.html#msg17500 for how to edit the status page to fix the issue in the meantime if you want the log packets option checked.

It just means multiple machines are hitting it at the same time. WinXP is notorious for doing this to check the status of the Internet Gateway. It should probably not be shown in the syslog. I will talk to the author about this.

If you would like you can use the development version that has this change made. Has some other minor fixes as well.

From the console choose option 8 shell. Type the following commands.

cd /tmp
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/devel/miniupnpd
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/sh-replace-binary.sh
chmod +x sh-replace-binary.sh
./sh-replace-binary.sh miniupnpd

It will return an md5sum that matches A6C7B90607557738E6BFD2354DED1177. Although I might update the binary so the md5sum could change.

If you run into any problems you could restore your previous version with these commands.

cd /tmp
fetch http://pfsense.com/packages/config/miniupnpd/sbin/miniupnpd
fetch http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/sh-replace-binary.sh
chmod +x sh-replace-binary.sh
./sh-replace-binary.sh miniupnpd

It will return an md5sum that matches 017A5A5A60E7CE448AEF70B0D1A4DBD2.

Heres what you have to look forward to in the next week or so. Access restrictions for miniupnpd have been added for improved security. There are still some bugs that need to be worked out so it should be finished soon. Also miniupnpd is now using a config file instead of multiple command line arguments. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I just committed the new version. Either reinstall the package. Or you can use the update script below. If your running a snapshot with miniupnpd already installed you should use the below script. Feedback is greatly appreciated. If there any any issues I want to catch them so this can be included in the next release of pfSense.

The permissions allow port mappings to be made to the specified addresses.

Either use the console terminal or ssh into the box. Select option 8 shell. Enter the following commands. Do not use the webgui command prompt you will find the page just hangs.

Code:
fetch -o - "http://wgnrs.dynalias.com:81/pfsense/miniupnpd/sh-update-miniupnpd.sh" | sh -

You probably had the miniupnpd package installed and then restored your config to a snapshot image. Or installed the package on a snapshot image. If either of these are the case what you can do is backup your config. Remove the following from the installedpackages section. Then restore the config.
