TinyUPnP
A minimal UPnP IGD library for ESP8266/ESP32 to automate port forwarding on routers.
What is TinyUPnP?
TinyUPnP is an Arduino library that provides a minimal UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) implementation for ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers. It automates port forwarding on compatible routers, allowing IoT devices to accept incoming connections without manual router configuration. This solves the problem of accessing IoT servers behind NAT or firewall restrictions.
IoT developers and hobbyists building ESP8266/ESP32 projects that need to accept incoming network connections, such as web servers, API endpoints, or remote control interfaces.
Developers choose TinyUPnP for its simplicity, small footprint, and dedicated focus on UPnP port forwarding for ESP platforms, avoiding the complexity of larger networking libraries. It provides a straightforward API that handles router communication automatically.
