It is exact because I'm not stupid enough to enable UPnP! :) Nor would I enable any other protocol that allowed inward connections through my router.
No gamers at your home, I guess? :-p
Then, if you are using VoIP solutions, it is very possibly there is some NAT traversal solution in place.
No VoIP here. We love POTS with an unpowered phone, as I said. I like to think it will keep working even if the whole Internet is fried.
Ha! My house phones are apparently POTS. But the connection to the outside is the internet fibre, which doesn't carry electricity, you know. It is VoIp there. There is a gadget inside my home who does the translation, and has no battery backup. If the electricity goes down, I don't have a phone to call the technician or the company. The funny thing is that the same telephone company refuses to supply VoIP. The intention is to migrate everybody to VoIP internally and thus phase out the telephone switches. Those that refuse to migrate will probably be connected to some interconnection modules, either inside the homes, or outside, where they don't see them. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
