I'd prefer to integrate the Port Control Protocol (PCP) instead.

Sorry, but seems like he was right. If the build process or devs with power weren't toxic I'd jump on preparing a PR for fixing the firewall config issue, but both being the case, I'd rather not waste my time contributing to a burning ship.

Wow...honestly no words

I guess the fate of upnp has already been decided https://vyos.dev/rVYOSONEX7c438caa2c21101cbefc2eec21935ab55af19c46

I could argue with additional upnp use cases, but that doesn't seem useful here. It seems the only solution that isn't cringe is outlined here:

Thanks for the comment! I'm responding on the github page so we aren't in two places at once.

Hard agree with the points Apachez made above, the packages should be added. I tried adding the packages to vyos-1x/debian/control and vyos-build/data/live-build-config/archives/trixie.list.chroot + vyos-build/data/live-build-config/archives/trixie.pref.chroot without any luck. Perhaps it was an issue with my docker setup or something similarly silly (I am very new to VyOS) but I am not sure how to add these packages. Any ideas?

Any update on this PR? (thanks for the work put into this!!)
