UPnP Port Forwarding Identification and Rule Removal (Problem/Request/Suggestion)


Recommended Posts

For months now I have seen Virtual Servers (forwarded ports) in my router, created by an unknown source, seemingly at random, only identifying the rules created as "libminiupnpc".

I was worrying about it off and on, until I finally today (somehow, I am very slow apparently) searched online for the specific port numbers and found mention of Klei.. Bit more looking and the 2 ports/rules are for DST servers, tested and confirmed. YAY no severe concern of an unknown source creating forwarded ports anymore! :D

I definitely have some thoughts tho:

1. It would be an excellent idea to identify DST as the creator/purpose of the forwarded port(s) instead of the slightly scary/generic "libminiupnpc"

2. When the server is closed, or perhaps the whole game is closed, the forwarded ports should be removed I think, please, ty, and ily? :>

3. When I'm running a Local server as I am, having selected 1 player and Local, I shouldn't have or need any ports forwarded actually I think.. Is it too late at the point the user clicks to start up the server to then forward ports if appropriate?

Ty! Not a bug exactly, so I'm just putting it right here- I hope the appropriate someone sees it and agreesĀ :)
