How to set up UPnP on a home linux router?

Question

network hardware

I'm not interested in installing a UPnP server for broadcasting media files to home devices, but rather the opposite - a UPnP client. My home server (it costs a server ubuntu) acts as a nas, a backup, a torrent downloader, a development server and, most importantly, a router - so I would like it to be able to automatically forward ports if an upnp request comes to it from software like utorrent. At the moment, I have port forwarding simply registered with static rules in iptables - I would like to automate it. In Google, articles are everywhere on how to make a server, not a client.

Answer 1

maybe I don’t understand the thread, but it’s the server that you need to do ... the client in this case is your home computer with uTorrent
, the setup is very simple. Take www.shorewall.net/UPnP.html as an example...

Answer 2

I don't need to configure port forwarding manually on every device on the network, I don't need support for media players
