UPnP support
-
I'd find it better, too… with a checkbox...
else, why is the miniupnpd listed in the packages tab when it's included in the pfsense itself ?
I answered that something like 5 posts back.

I updated miniupnpd to version 20061214. I added the checkbox to enable it, and changed the format of miniupnpd to MiniUPnPd on the menu. Let me know if theres anything else you see that should be changed.

Sorry I haven't read through this whole thread, but I have a question.
I'm coming as a m0n0wall user that needs UPnP support. Do any of the later builds have this already installed in pfsense? Or is it still a manual process to get it added? I need this functionality to make an H.323 video application work. http://www.polycom.com/products_services/0,,pw-4367,00.html
I'll be using the embedded (WRAP) image.
Thanks!

if this is a embedded or livecd install. fetch yourself a snapshot from http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/
If this is a HD install. Download 1.0.1 and install the package through the package menu.

Got the latest one there. Thanks!

Edit: UPnP seems to be working, but there is nothing ever listed in the UPNP Status page.
Also, once you've entered some information in the miniupnpd Settings tab, is there ever a way to stop or clear the firewall from using UPnP short of resetting back to factory defaults? How do you stop or restart the service? -
let's see, there is a enable disable checkbox.
Status -> Services displays the current status.
And the upnp status does display created port mapping. If there is nothing mapped, there is nothing to see. The rest goes into the system log. -
Where is the enable/disable checkbox? Not on the 12-23-2006 build I'm using.
-
System -> packages -> installed Packages -> reinstall package gui components
-
There is no Packages in System. I'm on a WRAP.
So how would one know if its enabled?
-
ah, well, the current upnp code included in base is not yet up to date with the package. That will probably work itself out in the near future.

FYI its been updated in the base code for about a week, just have to wait for a new snapshot to be released. Includes the enable button, the starting and stopping via the system -> services page, and fixes an issue with port mappings not being shown on when log packets is checked. Clicking clear on the upnp status page will clear all current mappings and restart the service.

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 will be very helpfull removing this from logs.. ;) sometimes it's flooding me realy serious

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 miniupnpdIt 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 miniupnpdIt will return an md5sum that matches 017A5A5A60E7CE448AEF70B0D1A4DBD2.

thank's
I have reinstalled package according to your instructions…
Will see ;) I will report soonregards
Michael :) -
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 -
