| Usage | ||
| upnp.addPortMapping [-a=<fake address>] <port> | ||
| Description | ||
| Makes a request to the gateway of the local network using UPnP; the request asks the gateway to add an entry in its port mapping table. If the gateway accepts the request, it will forward packets received on <port> on its external (WAN) IP address to the host KVIrc is running at, on the same <port>. Depending on vendors, this is called with different names: Port forwarding, SUA, Virtual Server, PAT, ... It's better to check is a gateway has been found using $upnp.isgatewayavailable before using this function. | ||
