UPnP NAT hole punching

About

The service exported by this module attempts to configure NAT hole punching via UPnP.

This will make your node publicly accessible from the internet.

For this to work there are some prerequisites:

1. Your router must have UPnP support enabled
2. Your libp2p node must be listening on a non-loopback IPv4 address
3. You must not be double-NATed by your ISP

Example

import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p'
import { tcp } from '@libp2p/tcp'
import { uPnPNAT } from '@libp2p/upnp-nat'

const node = await createLibp2p({
  addresses: {
    listen: [
      '/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/0'
    ]
  },
  transports: [
    tcp()
  ],
  services: {
    upnpNAT: uPnPNAT()
  }
})

Install

$ npm i @libp2p/upnp-nat
