[Issue RT-AC66U] Upnp Portmapper fail

[Louis Car]

Hi,
Rather than double post I have described the problem here.
http://www.snbforums.com/threads/using-upnp-portmapper-on-asus-rt-ac66u-fails.27580/

I am using firmware 3.0.0.4.376_3861

If anyone has tried upnp portmapper or can comment on whether they are able to set a upnp port to anything other than their host machine - I'd be grateful for the info.

secure mode is enabled you can only map ports to your own ip

there's an nvram value
but no way of setting it in the web interface

i always set secure mode disalbed on every firmware i compile

you can find it in the source here

nvram_get_int("upnp_secure") ? "yes" : "no", // secure_mode (only forward to self)

https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/release/src/router/rc/services.c

you could also i suppose set the nvram value via telnet

try
nvram set upnp_secure=no
nvram commit
reboot

it may hold or not..

Thanks I got the same solution from Merlin and it appears to work fine although I didn't reboot. I just restarted the upnp service

service restart_upnp
That'll work for me even if I have to reset it after a reboot.
