I use shorewall instead iptables. I do not want to run iptables.

Well, miniupnpd needs iptables to work, so what is the point in trying to use it without iptables?
(In reply to comment #1) > Well, miniupnpd needs iptables to work, so what is the point in trying to > use it without iptables? Shorewall is iptables wrapper. And miniupnpd works fine with that patch: $ /etc/init.d/iptables status * status: stopped
Ahh, okay :) I'll update miniupnpd to version 1.7 and add this patch later today.
Took a look at it - it seems the iptables init script does not have "provide firewall", so this is not an option ATM. Please create a new bug about that, and mark it as a blocker for this bug. Once that has been fixed, I'll update the init script for miniupnpd.
I've created a blocker ticket. The current snapshot also supports now nftables, not only iptables.
The issue isn't really that "provide firewall" gives all the necessary bits. There's IPv6 which is in ip6tables and ebtables. There would need to be agreed upon provides for all of those.
I guess I'll just put a long list of options in 'use'. This won't be perfect but at least should work for most people, and cover different preferences.
