Feature request/sugestion = uPnP

[raidsm]

Hi!

may I make a suggestion for a future release: a uPnP frontend for the web interface.

It's a usefull addition to a NAS! and it should already be included in the transmission client as it uses it to open ports automaticaly.

Hope it's a great idea! ;)

Hi raidsm

:thumbup

You are right and we included it since last month in next version 17.0.

We included a upnp client (mini-upnpc) which allows to open or close a port on the router if you have enable upnp feature on it.
Transmission already does it by its own code and btsync/resilio should have done so but the developers did an error some where as in its log you can read

Code: Select all

[20161012 12:00:44.546] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.

So currently, use upnpc to open automatically some ports it is required only for mldonkey (which does not make it automatically) and btsync. Some changes has been done to do it and now you will be able to see on your router web-interface something like this

Of course you will be able to use upnpc to open other ports (eg. for your apps) but please to note often some routers allow only to open ports without privilege (upper than 1024) and you won't be able to open port like 21, 80, 443,... by this way (so need to set manually nat rules for these ports)

WOW super!

I wonder when the V17 firmware will come out? BTW do you need beta tester? For sure I would be glad to help in some ways.... but as you know it my knowledge is quite basic...
