General Discussion / UPnP issues?

« on: June 28, 2020, 01:43:26 pm »

Hi I would like to try OPNsense but there is one thing holding me back!

My home network has 8 gaming PC/Consoles with a constantly evolving games library. This means UPnP is essential as I don't have enough time to be constantly adding and removing ports.

I did try running pfSense a while ago but we had big problems with UPnP. It would work for one user but for some games, subsequent users would not be able to access the game's servers.
I'm pretty confident this was because of MiniUPnPs interaction with the FreeBSD Packet Filter.

From what I understand this has been an ongoing issue for years but has recently seen some work to get it fixed. There is a thread about it over at pfSense.

Before I take the plunge and start learning my way around another firewall is anyone able to confirm if OPNsense would suffer from the same issues?
If it would be possible to use the updated version of MiniUPnP-2.2.0.r1,1?

Many thanks
