The tor-fw-helper tool supports Apple's + NAT-PMP protocol and the UPnP standard for TCP port mapping. This + optional tool may be enabled at compile time by configuring with + '--enable-upnp' or '--enable-natpmp' or with both. This tool may be + called by hand or by Tor. By configuring the PortForwarding option, Tor + will launch the helper on a regular basis to ensure that the NAT mapping + is regularly updated. Additionally, a user may also specify an + alternative helper by using the PortForwardingHelper option. The helper + may be specified by name or with the full path to the helper. The default + helper is named 'tor-fw-helper' and any alternative helper must take the + tor-fw-helper-spec.txt into account. + |
