Do UPnP and NAT-PMP work over an OpenVPN connection? I have a OpenVPN remote access server setup on my pfsense box and UPnP/NAT-PMP enabled and configure for the OpenVPN interface. I then tested the connection with one remote client and I see that the uTorrent listening port on that remote client gets forwarded properly in the OpenVPN server but when I fire up games like COD: MW I don't see port forward entries for it under Status -> UPnP & NAT-PMP. So what gives?

OpenVPN does not use Unplug and pray.

So how can use explain uTorrent being able to tell pfsense (UPNP server) to do the necessary port forwarding? Also, what do you mean by "it's not using it"? OpenVPN is not the one "actually" using UPNP as the tunnel is just responsible for routing packets. Are you saying it's blocking UPNP packets? Why?
TinCanTech
Ask pfSense I guess ...

I am asking them but since the native connection is OpenVPN, then it's valid to ask people here. Do you have a more technical answer than just one liners though?
TinCanTech
OpenVPN does not use nor does it know how to use nor are there any plans to make it use unplug and pray.
This is not the forum you need.

Let me revise my question then. Does OpenVPN pass multicast traffic?
TinCanTech
That depends on many things ..
But it sounds like you need a bridged VPN. See the Howto.

Yes, I know what a bridged VPN is (TAP) but I prefer TUN if I can make multicast traffic work. The pfsenes UPNP server listens on the OpenVPN interface anyway so if a client sends multicast or even broadcast traffic, it should reach the OpenVPN client interface.
