Freenet works fine with ports forwarded from the firewall, but it
doesn't use uPNP or anything, so you need to manually forward the port.
Do any other major apps? Does Apache? Does Kazaa? I honestly don't know
in the latter case, if somebody does know, I'd like to hear from them.
But what I heard was that UPNP was only slightly standardized and you'll
end up writing custom code for every router...
The only apps that I am aware of using uPNP are MSN Messenger and Apple's iChat. It's standardised (see libupnp and the linuxigd projects - the latter uses libupnp to provide a WindowsXP like firewall control thing, it actually works, but I don't use it), but not that great - no auth or anything.
