Box 2 Firmware 2.1.22.19 UPNP

In the new version of firmware 2.1.22.19 the release notes say that Box 2 now supports UPNP. Is UPNP on by default for all devices? I don't see anywhere within the Central iOS app where you can make any configuration changes for UPNP with the new version.

I see uPnP now in the app. Question though, it warns about security issues by turning this on. Understood that will be the case by the nature of uPnP but I thought Bitdefender would be able to monitor these ports that will be open during use, correct? That would be why I got Bitdefender. :-)

Hi, the Bitdefender Box is constantly monitoring your network for anomalies. If a device that is accessed via UPnP will start behaving in a suspicious manner, the Box will stop the malicious behavior , thus keeping your network safe. We are working as we speak on a more granular visualization on UPnP activity, so you can have a better understanding on what we are protecting you from.

I see that the option has been added to toggle UPnP for each device in the central app. Thank you this issue is now resolved
