Hi,

I've added the attached updated template to minissdpd. Please let me know if
you see issues in it and send us the corrections.

Cheers,



Template: miniupnpd/start_daemon
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Start the MiniUPnP daemon automatically?
Choose this option if the MiniUPnP daemon should start automatically,
now and at boot time.

Template: miniupnpd/listen
Type: string
_Description: Interfaces to listen on for UPnP queries:
The MiniUPnP daemon will listen for requests on the local network. Please
enter the interfaces or IP addresses it should listen on, separated by
space.
.
Interface names are preferred, and required if you plan to enable IPv6 port
forwarding.

Template: miniupnpd/iface
Type: string
_Description: External WAN network interface to open ports on:
The MiniUPnP daemon will listen on a specific IP address on the local
network, then open ports on the WAN interface. Please enter the name of
the WAN network interface on which the MiniUPnP daemon should perform
port forwarding.

Template: miniupnpd/ip6script
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Enable IPv6 firewall chain?
Please specify whether the MiniUPnP daemon should run its
ip6tables script on startup to initialize the IPv6 firewall chain.
.
Note: This option is useless for you if you didn't block any IPv6 forward
traffic.

(In case anybody else reading d-l-e is confused, the minissdpd/
templates passed through here in March, miniupnpd got processed back
in 2013.)

I've lost track of what has changed here, but it all looks okay.

Ah, that last paragraph is new.

That's probably "if you don't block any" (talking about an ongoing
current policy rather than the past event of configuring it).

Does "forward traffic" mean "forwarded traffic"? (Not that you're
forwarding it exactly if it's being blocked, but it's blocked traffic
on that chain...) Probably this could be just:

This option is useless if you don't block any IPv6 forwarded traffic.
