Re: Who uses UPnP?

Running 2x Xbox Ones with 2 players on a home wireless required UPnP to allow them to work properly

The flaw isn't UPnP in this case. The flaw is MS yet again requiring a serious reduction in security for their crap to "work properly". Now if it'd been the first gaming console that might be OK, way back then we didn't see UPnP for the hole it has become. But by the time XBONE came out, UPnP was well and truly known to be a problem. MS have no excuse.
