Automatically set up UPnP port forwarding on the router

Open LogicDaemon opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Describe the solution you'd like Syncthing and torrent clients automatically set up port forwarding on clients' routers using UPnP. croc also should.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can use https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp and then feed the ports to croc, but it's tedious. My provider's router does not allow setting up port forwarding manually, and it's basically useless since I get a gray IP on the WAN interface anyway. But UPnP works.

@schollz can I work on this one? But I have no previous experience with open source or networking stuff. I can give it a shot.
