Edit the /etc/miniupnpd.conf file to set options. Almost all options are
also available through command line switches.
A basic configuration would set :
ext_ifname : WAN network interface (interface connected to the internet)
listening_ip : LAN network interface (network where to supply NAT traversal)
enable_natpmp=yes
enable_upnp=yes
and the permission rules (see below).
Historically, LAN had to be specified by IP/mask, such as
listening_ip=192.168.0.1/24
but if you compiled with IPv6 support, you need to specify an interface name :
listening_ip=eth0
The current code assumes there is only one IPv4 address assigned to LAN
interfaces. That is not the case with some CARP setup, there is then a risk
the wrong mask would be picked. You can force the mask when using interface
names :
listtening_ip=eth0/24
Miniupnpd supports some kind of security check for allowing or disallowing
redirection to be made. The UPnP permission rules are read from the
miniupnpd.conf configuration file.
