15.1.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings

UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the

LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to

connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes

automated.

When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of

all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded.

Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable these

features only if you trust the computers connected to the LAN ports.

When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two

protocols can be found at Status>UPnP / NAT-PMP.
