UPnP aware/enabled games?

[Ensign]

I am new to UPnP and it sounds like a great solution for playing online games without the hassles of using port forwarding. However, I have been unable to find any information about which games support UPnP. Does anyone know if such a list exists?

Thanks in advance!

If UPnP was in the dictionary it would say: HUGE SECURITY HOLE!!!!!!!!!

More so than Port Forwarding and DMZ Hosting? From what I read, it sounded like UPnP was safer than either of these? Is this not the case?

Thanks.

Can anyone else provide any facts about UPnP? Please let me know if this is not the correct forum.

Thanks!

I would take a look at ' www.grc.com ' for more info. Hit the "shields up" link and there you will find more info on Upnp.

They describe this as a security risk also.
