UPNP

Inherits: Reference < Object

UPNP network functions.

Description

Provides UPNP functionality to discover UPNPDevices on the local network and execute commands on them, like managing port mappings (port forwarding) and querying the local and remote network IP address. Note that methods on this class are synchronous and block the calling thread.

To forward a specific port:

const PORT = 7777
var upnp = UPNP.new()
upnp.discover(2000, 2, "InternetGatewayDevice")
upnp.add_port_mapping(port)

To close a specific port (e.g. after you have finished using it):

upnp.delete_port_mapping(port)

Note: UPnP discovery blocks the current thread. To perform discovery without blocking the main thread, use Threads like this:

# Emitted when UPnP port mapping setup is completed (regardless of success or failure).
signal upnp_completed(error)

# Replace this with your own server port number between 1025 and 65535.
const SERVER_PORT = 3928
var thread = null

func _upnp_setup(server_port):
    # UPNP queries take some time.
    var upnp = UPNP.new()
    var err = upnp.discover()

    if err != OK:
        push_error(str(err))
        emit_signal("upnp_completed", err)
        return

    if upnp.get_gateway() and upnp.get_gateway().is_valid_gateway():
        upnp.add_port_mapping(server_port, server_port, ProjectSettings.get_setting("application/config/name"), "UDP")
        upnp.add_port_mapping(server_port, server_port, ProjectSettings.get_setting("application/config/name"), "TCP")
        emit_signal("upnp_completed", OK)

func _ready():
    thread = Thread.new()
    thread.start(self, "_upnp_setup", SERVER_PORT)

func _exit_tree():
    # Wait for thread finish here to handle game exit while the thread is running.
    thread.wait_to_finish()

Enumerations

enum UPNPResult:

  • UPNP_RESULT_SUCCESS = 0 --- UPNP command or discovery was successful.

  • UPNP_RESULT_NOT_AUTHORIZED = 1 --- Not authorized to use the command on the UPNPDevice. May be returned when the user disabled UPNP on their router.

  • UPNP_RESULT_PORT_MAPPING_NOT_FOUND = 2 --- No port mapping was found for the given port, protocol combination on the given UPNPDevice.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS = 3 --- Inconsistent parameters.

  • UPNP_RESULT_NO_SUCH_ENTRY_IN_ARRAY = 4 --- No such entry in array. May be returned if a given port, protocol combination is not found on an UPNPDevice.

  • UPNP_RESULT_ACTION_FAILED = 5 --- The action failed.

  • UPNP_RESULT_SRC_IP_WILDCARD_NOT_PERMITTED = 6 --- The UPNPDevice does not allow wildcard values for the source IP address.

  • UPNP_RESULT_EXT_PORT_WILDCARD_NOT_PERMITTED = 7 --- The UPNPDevice does not allow wildcard values for the external port.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INT_PORT_WILDCARD_NOT_PERMITTED = 8 --- The UPNPDevice does not allow wildcard values for the internal port.

  • UPNP_RESULT_REMOTE_HOST_MUST_BE_WILDCARD = 9 --- The remote host value must be a wildcard.

  • UPNP_RESULT_EXT_PORT_MUST_BE_WILDCARD = 10 --- The external port value must be a wildcard.

  • UPNP_RESULT_NO_PORT_MAPS_AVAILABLE = 11 --- No port maps are available. May also be returned if port mapping functionality is not available.

  • UPNP_RESULT_CONFLICT_WITH_OTHER_MECHANISM = 12 --- Conflict with other mechanism. May be returned instead of UPNP_RESULT_CONFLICT_WITH_OTHER_MAPPING if a port mapping conflicts with an existing one.

  • UPNP_RESULT_CONFLICT_WITH_OTHER_MAPPING = 13 --- Conflict with an existing port mapping.

  • UPNP_RESULT_SAME_PORT_VALUES_REQUIRED = 14 --- External and internal port values must be the same.

  • UPNP_RESULT_ONLY_PERMANENT_LEASE_SUPPORTED = 15 --- Only permanent leases are supported. Do not use the duration parameter when adding port mappings.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_GATEWAY = 16 --- Invalid gateway.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_PORT = 17 --- Invalid port.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_PROTOCOL = 18 --- Invalid protocol.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_DURATION = 19 --- Invalid duration.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_ARGS = 20 --- Invalid arguments.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_RESPONSE = 21 --- Invalid response.

  • UPNP_RESULT_INVALID_PARAM = 22 --- Invalid parameter.

  • UPNP_RESULT_HTTP_ERROR = 23 --- HTTP error.

  • UPNP_RESULT_SOCKET_ERROR = 24 --- Socket error.

  • UPNP_RESULT_MEM_ALLOC_ERROR = 25 --- Error allocating memory.

  • UPNP_RESULT_NO_GATEWAY = 26 --- No gateway available. You may need to call discover first, or discovery didn't detect any valid IGDs (InternetGatewayDevices).

  • UPNP_RESULT_NO_DEVICES = 27 --- No devices available. You may need to call discover first, or discovery didn't detect any valid UPNPDevices.

  • UPNP_RESULT_UNKNOWN_ERROR = 28 --- Unknown error.

Property Descriptions

  • bool discover_ipv6

Default

false

Setter

set_discover_ipv6(value)

Getter

is_discover_ipv6()

If true, IPv6 is used for UPNPDevice discovery.


  • int discover_local_port

Default

0

Setter

set_discover_local_port(value)

Getter

get_discover_local_port()

If 0, the local port to use for discovery is chosen automatically by the system. If 1, discovery will be done from the source port 1900 (same as destination port). Otherwise, the value will be used as the port.


  • String discover_multicast_if

Default

""

Setter

set_discover_multicast_if(value)

Getter

get_discover_multicast_if()

Multicast interface to use for discovery. Uses the default multicast interface if empty.

Method Descriptions

Adds the given UPNPDevice to the list of discovered devices.


Adds a mapping to forward the external port (between 1 and 65535) on the default gateway (see get_gateway) to the internal_port on the local machine for the given protocol proto (either TCP or UDP, with UDP being the default). If a port mapping for the given port and protocol combination already exists on that gateway device, this method tries to overwrite it. If that is not desired, you can retrieve the gateway manually with get_gateway and call add_port_mapping on it, if any.

If internal_port is 0 (the default), the same port number is used for both the external and the internal port (the port value).

The description (desc) is shown in some router UIs and can be used to point out which application added the mapping. The mapping's lease duration can be limited by specifying a duration (in seconds). However, some routers are incompatible with one or both of these, so use with caution and add fallback logic in case of errors to retry without them if in doubt.

See UPNPResult for possible return values.


  • void clear_devices ( )

Clears the list of discovered devices.


  • int delete_port_mapping ( int port, String proto="UDP" ) const

Deletes the port mapping for the given port and protocol combination on the default gateway (see get_gateway) if one exists. port must be a valid port between 1 and 65535, proto can be either TCP or UDP. See UPNPResult for possible return values.


  • int discover ( int timeout=2000, int ttl=2, String device_filter="InternetGatewayDevice" )

Discovers local UPNPDevices. Clears the list of previously discovered devices.

Filters for IGD (InternetGatewayDevice) type devices by default, as those manage port forwarding. timeout is the time to wait for responses in milliseconds. ttl is the time-to-live; only touch this if you know what you're doing.

See UPNPResult for possible return values.


Returns the UPNPDevice at the given index.


  • int get_device_count ( ) const

Returns the number of discovered UPNPDevices.


Returns the default gateway. That is the first discovered UPNPDevice that is also a valid IGD (InternetGatewayDevice).


  • String query_external_address ( ) const

Returns the external IP address of the default gateway (see get_gateway) as string. Returns an empty string on error.


  • void remove_device ( int index )

Removes the device at index from the list of discovered devices.


Sets the device at index from the list of discovered devices to device.
