NATPMPD(8)

NAME
natpmpd - NAT-PMP daemon

SYNOPSIS
natpmpd [-dnv] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
natpmpd is a daemon which implements the NAT-PMP protocol.

The options are as follows:

-d  Do not daemonize and log to stderr.

-f file
    Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/natpmpd.conf.

-n  Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.

-v  Produce more verbose output.

CONFIGURATION
To allow natpmpd to create mappings, pf.conf(5) needs the following rule.

    anchor "natpmpd"

FILES
/etc/natpmpd.conf
    default natpmpd configuration file

CAVEATS
pf(4) does not allow the ruleset to be modified if the system is running at a securelevel(7) higher than 1. At that level natpmpd cannot add rules to the anchors and NAT-PMP requests will not work.
