os-upnp, how to make it work?

I have installed the os-upnp plugin. In the install log, it says:


For this daemon to work, you must modify your pf rules to add an anchor
in both the NAT and rules section.  Both must be called 'miniupnpd'.
Example:

# NAT section
# UPnPd rdr anchor
rdr-anchor "miniupnpd"

# Rules section
# uPnPd rule anchor
anchor "miniupnpd"


I don't understand what that means, and I don't know what to do with this information. UPnP doesn't work with this plugin installed, and I don't see it in the Services list on the Dashboard.

What am I missing?

This is a note coming from the miniupnp package. Just ignore it as this stuff is done by OPNsense when the next firewall configuration reload happens.

nothing

I'm still missing something, shouldn't there be a upnp service running in the services list? I tried running a Transmission client that's supposed to open a port via UPnP, and it says the port is closed.


I didn't have it in the services. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, now it's there and enabled and working. Thanks!
