Add NAT-PMP support to miniupnpd
Added by Salvatore LaMendola almost 15 years ago.

Description
Hey guys I have a really easy one for you. I use a few programs that support NAT-PMP, and one, which actually claims to support both, yet only NAT-PMP support is actually functional. Is there any way you guys could enable NAT-PMP on the default install? I'm not much of a web programmer, but I could (enable the switch? compile it in? haven't used miniupnpd in a while...) definitely get this working in the program if someone better at web adds it to the interface. Thanks a lot.

I've included a patch to allow NAT-PMP to be a "first class" citizen along with UPnP. This is important for us as well since we are a pure-Macintosh shop.
There are a few notes here:
- First,
miniupnpd must be updated to miniupnpd-1.4.20100511. Version 1.4 is in FreeBSD's ports now, and I have problem-report ports/148529 already logged to update miniupnpd in the FreeBSD mainline. The reason for the update is that 1.4 has a couple of bugs with respect to NAT-PMP (according to the changelog only the NAT-PMP changes should affect pfSense/FreeBSD).
- Second, the pfSense GUI has been updated to refer to "UPnP" as "UPnP & NAT-PMP", in order to give NAT-PMP "first-class" look-and-feel. I used HTML entities for the ampersand and hope that is okay with developer policy.
- Third, you can now allow UPnP and NAT-PMP independently. At least one must be allowed if the daemon is enabled.
- Lastly, the
miniupnpd process should report both protocol mappings correctly in the status page, and have both protocols use the same network queues.
Obviously, the maintainer needs to build a new /usr/local/sbin/miniupnpd in addition to the given patch.
Thanks for such excellent work, guys!

Thanks for the patch!
Does your FreeBSD PR for the port include a patch to update the port, or did you just ask for an update?
If you have a patch for the port to use the newer version, we can use that too.
Nevermind, I missed the link to the PR in the original ticket info. Looks like it does have a patch. We can use that instead of waiting for the ports tree to catch up.
I just (few minutes ago!) received an email from the FreeBSD port maintainer approving the miniupnpd port update. As soon as GNATS catches up it should be committed. I currently live in the MacPorts world so I don't know how fast/slow things work in the FreeBSD world... :-)
Usually pretty quickly, it may take a while to show up on all the mirrors though.
I pulled your patch into our pfPorts section of the tools repo, since we already were using a custom miniupnpd port Makefile. (The commit should be showing up on this ticket Or not, I forgot redmine doesn't see the tools commits, only the main repo).
