miniupnpc
brew install miniupnpc
v2.3.3
BSD-3-Clause
C library and command-line client for UPnP IGD port mapping and device discovery.
Why you might care
If you need to open ports on a UPnP-enabled router from within an application or script—without manual configuration—miniupnpc handles the UPnP protocol. It's a lightweight, dependency-minimal library used by torrent clients, game servers, and P2P apps that need NAT traversal. Includes both a C library for embedding and standalone CLI tools.
