I did do a nap_map status when the ports were missing from pfSense and FS thought they were still open.  I didn't know about nat_map republish, but will try next time.  I think the timeframe is days, so this is kind of hard to diagnose.  I may add a periodic nat_map republish from fs_cli to our production systems.

In any case, I'll keep an eye on it and try nat_map republish next time pfSense drops the ports to be sure that is working in this environment.

In the meantime, which .c file(s) can I peruse to learn more?

Thanks!

I believe FS opens the ports with an indefinite timeout (never close).  I'd have to double check.  In addition, FS refreshes the NAT mappings on every keep-alive packet sent by the upnp gateway.  Have you done a nat_map status once the ports are missing in pfsense to see if fs still thinks the ports should be open?  What if you do a nat_map republish?  Do the maps get pushed to pfsense and then stay open for a whlie?

Perhaps pfsense is sending a keep-alive packet that we don't process right or is invalid? If so, I'd need a packet trace to do analysis.

I have been using pfSense (1.2.3) and FS.  FS nicely uses UPnP to poke holes in the firewall, but it seems that the holes close after a while.  I cannot find any documentation in FS nor in pfSense as to what the timeout is.  Is there a setting in FS to do some kind of keep-alive thing with UPnP to keep, e.g. 5060, open?  Or is it already doing that and pfSense is the issue?

Thanks!
