I understand that this gets to the heart of why many IoT devices are security holes. But I'm also talking about things which should know better, like game consoles and such.


I am sincerely curious as to what devices you refer to, here, Tony. I *never* had to use uPnP in my home network, and I do have plenty of network connected devices, from game consoles, to TVs, AV Receivers, and stuff I even forgot are actually taking an IP from my DHCP server (silly me) etc.
