Interesting (and thanks for the heads-up, Steve).
I just ran that test, and got the above "THE EQUIPMENT AT THE TARGET IP ADDRESS DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR UPnP PROBES!" message, despite the fact that my router has UPnP enabled. But that was probably because I have a stringent firewall setting that does not allow outsiders to initiate connections to the router.
So at least that was a test of my firewall!
Hi Ted,
The thing is, UPnP was not supposed to be available to the public internet side of the router, but on some, it is. So it is probably that your router handles UPnP correctly and is not vulnerable, or it may be your firewall is protecting you. Either way, you're protected, which is what matters!
Cheers Steve
