nat_upnp is an Erlang library library that provides you a way to o map a local port to the external using UPnP IGD.
The usage of nat_upnp is pretty simple and just the minimum of the UNP to map a local port to the external.
1> {ok, Context} = nat_upnp:discover().
{ok,{nat_upnp,"http://192.168.1.254:5678/control/wan_ip_connection",
"192.168.1.45"}}
2> Protocol = tcp,
2> ExternalPort = 5638,
2> InternalPort = 5638,
2> Description = "test nat upnp",
2> Timeout = 0,
2> ok = nat_upnp:add_port_mapping(Context, Protocol, ExternalPort, InternalPort, Description, Timeout).
ok
Note: Timeout = 0 mean, the port will never be released (ie. infinite timeout)
3> ok = nat_upnp:delete_port_mapping(Context, Protocol, ExternalPort).
ok
Note: don't forget to remove the port you registered to the router when you exit the application or close the port. For example you could monitor the process that maintain the socket and when it's closing, unregister the port. Of course there are many other way to achieve that purpose.
For issues, comments or feedback please create an issue.
If you want to contribute patches or improve the doc, you will need to
build nat_unp using the rebar_dev.config file. It can also be built
using the Makefile:
$ make dev ; # compile & get deps
$ make devclean ; # clean all files
