9.6.10 UPnP

On the Configuration > UPnP page you can enable the UPnP function.

Universal plug and play (UPnP) is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software and peripherals of the
400+ vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. UPnP
works with wired or wireless networks and can be supported on any
operating system.

When UPnP is enabled it will help your programs to pass the NAT and it
will also appear as a UPnP device on your network. Future programs will
use this device for different purposes. UPnP can be considered as a
security hole, but there are great advantages too to use it. Programs like
MSN Messenger uses UPnP.

To enable the UPnP function just check the Enable UPnP IGD Function
box and click the Apply button.
