[arch-general] UPnP server for a arch router
hello, i am moving to a dorm soon and i plan on using a archlinux box as a router. to keep from messing with iptables every 5 seconds, i was wondering if there was a good, easy to setup upnp server.

Why not have two nics, one that allows incoming to any ports you may ever want and one that doesn't. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

i do, but you already need one facing the internet and one facing the intranet. On Aug 18, 2012 9:57 AM, "Kevin Chadwick" <ma1l1ists@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

to clarify a little (and bump), im talking about the UPnP IGD protocol. if there isnt a good server out there, then even a link to a clear explanation of the protocol would be nice, IIRC the RFC was more difficult to understand than most On Aug 18, 2012 10:11 AM, "Zachary (Asian)" <zacharyw09264@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, I use linux-igd on Debian, the Arch package is at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12319 I cannot attest to how well it works on Arch, however I'm sure it's similar. Very easy to set up, just putting the interfaces you want it to listen on, in the conf file and it does the rest. I use it with Shorewall as I'm lazy and don't like editing iptables rules by hand ;p On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 8:44 AM, Zachary (Asian) <zacharyw09264@gmail.com> wrote:
