Turn OFF UPnP and leave it off. It's effectively a blackhat hacking gateway, opening access to your LAN from the WAN, the Internet. It is often turned on by default by lazy router companies. (Hello Netgear!) Go into your router's settings and verify that it's off. - - If you turn it on to use UPnP requiring software like Twonky, turn it OFF again when you're done. - - Microsoft has known about the potential catastrophe that is UPnP for many years. --> DETAILS: "What is UPnP?

Stops to work constantly and has to be completely deleted and reinstalled every 2 weeks or so... :/
Not o. k. for an app that costs money.
Unfortunately the only uPNP server that works with my 2 WLAN radios...

Locks up repeatedly with Mountain Lion, and now Mavericks. Developer fails to respond to any email request for support, sales, or anything. Huge memory user, even under Mavericks.

Not a fan of this product, literally. This took up most of the CPU, just like the user below me. I am running Lion. This app should work, but they need to spend a few more months perfecting it.

Wow...
I have not written a review for a product before. In this case I felt like I had to.
This software is all managed via a web portal to the App.
They install an alias to this software to your desktop to stop the server.
Very poor interface.
I have never had such a bad experience with a software company as I have with this. Usually I can just uninstall the product and say... That just did not fit my needs.
In this case the software is all a service so it is not easy to uninstall. After searching their forums they talk about running an uninstall to fix problems... but they never say how to.
I also noticed that after the services were running for about an hour they maxed out my machine. The process was taking 100% of my CPU and the Fans were going Crazy. I am running 10.7.1 so it could be that they just have not updated to LION yet.
In the end... Do not use this.
