uPnP Mikrotik API

RouterOS Scripting
1

I use the Mikroitk API (PHP PEAR2) alot,

I use the following setup Generic Modem/Router → Mikrotik → Access Point.

I was wondering instead of opening up ports on my router so my server can see the mikrotik is there anyway of having the mikrotik open the ports on the router using uPnP?

AFAIK, sadly, no. There’s no way to make MikroTik be a UPnP client.

MikroTik is only a UPnP “control point”, i.e. it can open up ports requested by UPnP clients downstream, and forwards such requests upstream, so that in the end your other devices can be reachable from the internet.



Side note:

I use the Mikroitk API (PHP PEAR2) alot,

I feel both flattered, and… concerned (for a lack of a better word), that this is the thing that led you to look into UPnP :laughing: .
