Upnp and crashplan port mapping issue
-
Hello,
I use crashplan on my network as a backup tool. Over the past few months I've been trying to fix an issue without a port forwarding rule. Often, I find my pfsense firewall will not allow backups to be allowed in- blocked port 4242 at the firewall in the log. I have UPNP and NAT PMP enabled on the connection. Crashplan will use either - it successfully maps over NAT PMP but the port is not correct. Its supposed to be 4242 but the status page shows NAT-PMP 9623 tcp. This is not correct. Thoughts as to why this occurs?

Have you been able to resolve this I am having the same problem.

1/ That thread is 4 years old.
2/ Why the heck would you use UPnP instead of a static port forward? ::) -
Ease of use really. Having multiple computers, I'd rather not deal with mapping them all to static ports and trying to manage that.
I have multiple computers with Crashplan and I can see the ports mapped in the UPNP Status.

Same here. No need to set diffrent ports for each computer either, the app seems to be using random external port to the same 4242 local so that cool too.
