* Linux firewall configuration for UPnP clients *
Due to how UPnP protocol is designed, unicast responses to UPnP multicast client
requests are not tracked by Linux netfilter. And therefore netfilter executes
default action for them (which is in most cases DROP response packet).
To workaround this limitation, custom ipset hash table can be used. It is
supported since Linux kernel >= 2.6.39.
Rules for IPv4:
$ ipset create upnp hash:ip,port timeout 3
$ iptables -A OUTPUT -d 239.255.255.250/32 -p udp -m udp --dport 1900 -j SET --add-set upnp src,src --exist
$ iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m set --match-set upnp dst,dst -j ACCEPT
$ iptables -A INPUT -d 239.255.255.250/32 -p udp -m udp --dport 1900 -j ACCEPT
Rules for IPv6:
$ ipset create upnp6 hash:ip,port timeout 3 family inet6
$ ip6tables -A OUTPUT -d ff02::c/128 -p udp -m udp --dport 1900 -j SET --add-set upnp6 src,src --exist
$ ip6tables -A OUTPUT -d ff05::c/128 -p udp -m udp --dport 1900 -j SET --add-set upnp6 src,src --exist
$ ip6tables -A INPUT -p udp -m set --match-set upnp6 dst,dst -j ACCEPT
$ ip6tables -A INPUT -d ff02::c/128 -p udp -m udp --dport 1900 -j ACCEPT
$ ip6tables -A INPUT -d ff05::c/128 -p udp -m udp --dport 1900 -j ACCEPT
