 === UPnP ===
-Universal Plug and Play is a controversial protocol that allows fully dynamic (automatic) port mapping from LAN IP addresses onto the Internet. It has been criticized for its poor security. With UPnP, each network program maps its own ports automatically. In the screenshot below, WhatsApp has mapped certain ports on the WAN IP/Interface. UPnP is the original implementation of this protocol.
