== UPnP Port Forwarding ==

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Device Architecture, formerly known as the DCP Framework, provides a comprehensive set of protocols for seamless communication between controllers, known as control points, and devices within a networked environment. These protocols include essential functions such as device discovery, description, control, event notification, and presentation.

== Setup ==

# Raspberry Pi as UPnP Client
# UPnP ready Router
# Internet access device (Mobile Phone)

== Implementation == 

# Enable UPnP on Router
# Connect Raspberry Pi with Router
# Check external IP (curl https://ipecho.net/plain ; echo)
# Check internal IP on Raspberry Pi (ifconfig)
# Install miniupnpc client on Raspberry Pi (sudo apt-get install miniupnpc)
# Set up port forwarding on Router via Raspberry Pi miniupnpc Client (upnpc- a <internalIpRaspberryPi> <internalPort> <externalPort> TCP)
# Set up index.html on Raspberry Pi and start http server in the same directory (python3 -m http.server <internalPort>)
# Access external IP and Port with any Browser from outside the network (http://<externalIP>:<externalPort>)
