Description
Lighthouse is a dynamic port forwarding utility, allowing you to enable and disable port forwardings with just a single click. Both NAT/PMP (Apple Airport base stations) and UPnP (D-Link, Linksys, Netgear) protocols are supported.
Port forwardings are frequently necessary for tools such as instant messengers, file-sharing utilities and other networked applications that are run from behind a NAT gateway (read: a home network router). Being able to dynamically manage your port forwardings saves you from all the hassles of having to deal with cumbersome static forwardings.
Start and stop port forwardings with a single click Lives in your menu bar - always easily accessible Automatically start port forwardings when applications are launched Automatically start Lighthouse when you log into MacOS X Supports NAT/PMP routers (such as Apple Airport base stations) Supports UPnP routers (such as D-Link, Linksys or Netgear branded routers) Support for Growl notifications Comes with pre-made port mapping profiles for popular applications
