Title: Do you need to disable UPnP to use Portforward?
Post by: Sulayer on August 20, 2012, 04:32:26 AM

I have quick question here do you need disable UPnP to use Portforward. I check website portforward.com saying that you need to disable UPnP for use Portforward.

What does this means?
Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings :

I don't think so. I've used PF with uPNP enabled before...
Have you tried using it both ways?

Yes, I have, but when I go portforward.com it says you need to disable UPnP to get full experience, because UPnP mess up with portforward. Do you know what "Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings" means?

Don't know. Looking in manual and nothing there. Might be something that allows users to change server settings should they have that need. I don't think it's critical any more as I don't see this option any more in other models.

Let us know what you find out with uPnP disabled and enabled.

UPDATE: uPnP needs to be disabled for any PF to work correctly from what others have said.
