What is UPnP streaming?

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows devices that are connected to a network to easily discover and communicate with each other to enable network applications such as data sharing, video streaming or gaming.

Should I enable UPnP DLNA?

The DLNA standard uses UPnP, allowing for the discovery of other devices and communicate with those devices. So if you are not streaming media from a local PC(or other device) on your network then you will be OK to disable it. I would be careful disabling UPnP though as other technologies that you use might rely on it.

Is UPnP safe?

Though the UPnP protocol is safe, it can facilitate insecure connections. A UPnP protocol could permit devices with critical vulnerabilities to connect to your network and sensitive resources.

    What is UPnP and is it safe?

    UPnP is just as reliable, and as safe, as any applications running on your computer. If you control your computers properly, and ONLY trusted applications run on them, UPnP is perfectly safe. If you don’t control your computers properly, applications hijacking UPnP to open holes in your router will be the least of your worries.

    What does UPnP stand for?

    UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play, a set of networking protocols that lets new devices on your network search for, and connect with, other devices which already exist on that network.
