MiniUPnP project. (c) 2006-2017 Thomas Bernard Homepage : http://miniupnp.free.fr/ Mirror: https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/ github: https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp miniupnpd is still under developpement. This documentation is likely to be a little outdated when you read it. So please go on the web forum https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/ if you need more information. ================================ *BSD/pf ================================= To Build and Install : - use BSD make to compile. - you can first 'make config.h' then edit config.h to your preferences and finally 'make' Alternatively to editing config.h, options can be passed to genconfig.sh For more details : > ./genconfig.sh -h - add "rdr-anchor miniupnpd" or/and "anchor miniupnpd" lines to /etc/pf.conf (Since OpenBSD 4.7, rdr-anchor lines are no longer used and should be removed, leaving only the anchor lines). - some FreeBSD users reported that it is also necessary for them to explicitly allow udp traffic on 239.0.0.0/8 by adding the two following lines to /etc/pf.conf : pass out on $int_if from any to 239.0.0.0/8 keep state pass in on $int_if from any to 239.0.0.0/8 keep state - dont forget to " pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf " - you can check your modifications are taken into account with "pfctl -s nat" and "pfctl -s rule". Look for the "rdr-anchor miniupnpd" (if applicable) and/or "anchor miniupnpd" lines. - OpenBSD users may need to add a multicast_host= line to /etc/rc.conf.local see $man 8 netstart - install as root using : # make install or # PREFIX=/usr/local make install - run as root : The daemon needs rights to modify pf rules. =========================== *BSD,*Solaris/ipf ============================= genconfig.sh and the Makefile try to detect wether ipf or pf should be used. If it fails, edit config.h and Makefile by hand. In Makefile, the FWNAME variable value should be pf or ipf. Installation steps are allmost the same as with pf. *Solaris users would be interested in reading informations from : http://blogs.sun.com/avalon/category/IPFilter ============================= Mac OS X/ipfw =============================== - To enable non standard compilation options, > ./genconfig.sh -h Or edit config.h after it has been generated by genconfig.sh - use 'bsdmake' (if available) or 'make -f Makefile.macosx' to build ============================== Mac OS X/pf ================================ Starting with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, pf replaced ipfw as the OS X firewall. also bsdmake is not available anymore. Make sure you have installed the Xcode commande line tools (from the Xcode Preferences menu or using 'xcode-select --install' command) You'll need to download xnu sources : https://github.com/opensource-apple/xnu > INCLUDES="-I.../xnu/bsd -I.../xnu/libkern" make -f Makefile.macosx ============================ Linux/netfilter ============================== To Build and install : - make sure you have libiptc available on your system : if you are using debian, "apt-get install iptables-dev" Some versions of the iptables-dev package don't include the necessary files : read "how to get libiptc with its headers on debian" below. In anycase, libiptc is available in iptables sources packages from http://netfilter.org - edit and run netfilter/iptables_init.sh shell script. This script must allways be run before the daemon to set up intial rules and chains. - Build and edit the config.h file > make -f Makefile.linux config.h > vi config.h - Build the daemon > make -f Makefile.linux If not using iptables from your system, > IPTABLESPATH=/path/to/iptables-1.4.1 make -f Makefile.linux - install as root using : > make -f Makefile.linux install - A miniupnpd script should be installed to /etc/init.d and the configuration files to /etc/miniupnpd - anytime, you can use the netfilter/iptables_flush.sh script to flush all rules added by the daemon. - after killing the daemon, you can get back to iptables initial state by runing the netfilter/iptables_removeall.sh script. Don't forget to edit the script to your convinience. NOTE: a /etc/init.d/miniupnpd script will be installed. If it suits you, you can use is with start, stop or restart argument. # /etc/init.d/miniupnpd restart How to get libiptc with its headers on debian : (Note: that should be useless now that netfilter/tiny_nf_nat.h is included) - Use apt-get to get sources : > apt-get source iptables you should then have an iptables-x.x.x/ directory. - configure and compile : > cd iptables-x.x.x/ > ./configure --enable-static > make - it is now possible to compile miniupnpd using the following command : > IPTABLESPATH=/path/to/iptables-x.x.x make -f Makefile.linux ======================== Linux/netfilter nftables ========================= work is in progress. To build : > make -f Makefile.linux_nft see : https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4370 https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp/pull/114 =========================== Configuration ============================= 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 : listening_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. When a new redirection is requested, permission rules are evaluated in top-down order and the first permission rule matched gives the response : redirection allowed or denied. If no rule is matching, the redirection is allowed, so it is a good practice to have a "catch all" deny permission rule at the end of your permission ruleset. Sample permission ruleset : allow 4662-4672 192.168.1.34/32 4662-4672 deny 0-65535 192.168.1.34/32 0-65535 allow 1024-65535 192.168.1.0/24 1024-65535 deny 0-65535 0.0.0.0/0 0-65535 With this ruleset, redirections are allowed only for host on the subnet 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 for the ports 1024 or above. There is an exception for the host 192.168.1.34 for which only redirections from/to port 4662 to 4672 are allowed. You can generate the uuid for your UPnP device with the uuidgen available under linux. The following following OpenBSD package is also providing a "uuid" tool : http://www.openbsd.org/4.0_packages/i386/uuid-1.5.0.tgz-long.html An web based uuid generator is also available : http://kruithof.xs4all.nl/uuid/uuidgen On linux systems, one could also use the command 'cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid' to generate an uuid. More simple, use the genuuid makefile target : > make genuuid or > make -f Makefile.linux genuuid This target is needed by the "install" target, so it is done automatically during install. To stop the daemon use : # kill `cat /var/run/miniupnpd.pid` or if your linux system use /etc/init.d/ # /etc/init.d/miniupnpd stop * Signals : miniupnpd handles the following signals : SIGUSR1: Send public IP address change notification SIGUSR2: Handle special actions in Tomato Firmware version SIGINT: Close gracefully SIGTERM: Close gracefully SIGPIPE: Ignore So you may want to send SIGUSR1 to miniupnpd if you public IP address changed...
