Re: Is anyone using UPnP anyway? @Big_D

So to summarize some of your points:

- UPnP is good on the LAN but an abomination when openened to the WAN, yet you cite Skype and online games using it as a plus ( as you may know, Skype and online games use UPnP solely to open ports to the outside). Https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/containing/3666819

- You state that "UPnP can be turned on on any physical network port (as opposed to TCP port), LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi etc" (https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/containing/3666819)

- You think that UPnP is required for LAN gaming because "without it, you would only be able to have 1 device on the network and you would have to manually do the port forwarding" (https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/containing/3666819).

- You have "around 45,000 tracking domains set to 0.0.0.0 (unroutable) in [your] hosts file" ( https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/containing/3664779 )

Am I correct? If so, does that sound even remotely sensible to you ?
