20.1 Legacy Series / UPnP Issues
« on: June 28, 2020, 04:47:42 am »
All,
Another new guy issue here, I need some help getting UPnP working correctly. I have a gaming PC that I need the UPnP to work for some games with some friends. I followed this link on how someone set up an xbox to work but it seems to not work completely for me. https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=8812.0
I set a static IP on my computer 192.168.X.XX
Installed the UPnP service on Opnsense
Enabled UPnP Port mapping
Allow NAT-PMP Port mapping
User specified permissions "allow 51XX 192.168.X.XX/32 51XX"
Firewall hybrid oubound Nat Rule Generation checked
Create a rule with the following set: "Source Address - Single Host or network - 192.168.X.XX/32" & "Static Port - Checked"
I'm not sure if these rules/settings are correct since I'm still new to Opnsense (only a couple of weeks now). It seems that if i turn off Suricata(monitor intrusion) I can get the UPnP option in the game to show on and I can connect to my friends in the game. If the rules are fine then, I guess it could be Suricata blocking? Thanks for the help. I did some further checking and have turned of Suricata and still cannot get UPnP to consistently work on this game.
