I'm trying to work out how I can get the daemon to add an ACCEPT rule at the same time it is creating the forwarding rules.

Our firewalls are like most and default deny incoming traffic from untrusted sources. So, when granting a UPnP port forward, we also need to "open" a hole in the firewall and allow the packet in.

I guess you are using miniupnpd under Linux/netfilter...
miniupnpd already add ACCEPT rule at the same time as the network address translation rule.

Thank-you.

Yes - It's on a DD-WRT router, iptables v1.3.7

I can't see the ACCEPT rule being created, which table does it get created in?

We don't use the default ruleset created by the router, a custom one is built. So I will need to add it to a chain I guess

see the table "filter", chain MINIUPNPD :
Code:
iptables -v -n -t filter -L MINIUPNPD
