hi all,
I understand that the uPNP setting on a router lets clients open and close ports on demand. However, on my network I run TwonkyMedia which serves up videos/music etc and is marketed as a "uPNP media server"...
I understand this means it conforms to a standard that allows devices to more transparently find it and be configured but does this also mean that the media server will try and open ports on my router too?
In effect, I am asking - regardless of what the uPNP client tries to do
- as long as I have uPNP disabled on my router I am not introducing any security holes right?
cheers!
