Difference between "Enable UPnP Forwarding" and "UPnP enable"?

[omega4]

Is there a difference between selecting Setttings/Miscellaneous/"Enable UPnP Forwarding" vs. selecting Settings/UPnP/Checking the "Enable" box?

 

Do you have to perform the latter action first (checking the UPnP "enable" box) in order to do the former action (enable UPnP Forwarding)?

 

Does enabling UPnP Forwarding automatically turn on UPnP (checks the "enable" box automatically for you)?

 

Thanks.

UPnP Forwarding is if you're Netduma is first plugged into another router and not in the DMZ of it. It will forward which ports to open to the other router so you will have open NAT.

 

For example, your ISP modem/router combo and your Netduma plugged into that.

Thank you gentlemen.

 

Since my Netduma router is the only router in use (connected directly to my modem), then it appears UPnP Forwarding doesn't apply in my case.
