The support for UPnP/IGD standards (and NAT-PMP) in open-source applications isn't widely deployed. Although there are at least three different open-source libraries providing quite a simple interfaces to handle that, I can hardly mention an application using one of them.
I thought about starting to write patches to different applications adding the support for UPnP. But that means adding a new dependency, which many software authors don't like. And I still have to choose between available libraries, meaning that the end-user could end up with all of them, being used by a single application each.
That's why I've decided to write AutoUPnP -- a tool which automatically adds and removes UPnP NAT entries as the ports are respectively being open and closed.
AutoUPnP 0.4 is supposed to be used via ld.so's LD_PRELOAD
mechanism. In order to have the library preloaded, you'll probably want
to use the autoupnp
wrapper script. Call:
$ autoupnp --help
to take a short guide of the script.
