Description zebul666 2015-11-18 02:43:40 UTC 
When I run vino-preferences, and
 - choose to let others to connect
 - and let others take control of my PC,
 - with each access that must be confirmed
 - but wihtout a password
 - and with "Let automaticallly open ports on UPnP router"

no port is ever open on the router (i.e 5800 and/or 5900)

I have checked this on 2 different setups (pc-router).

running ubuntu 15.10 (vino 3.8.1-0ubuntu6), and using a tp-link td-W8960N modem-router, even after a logout-relogin, upnpc (miniupnpc client) does not show me that IGD ports 5800 or/and 5900 are opened.

however, I can check with netstat that those ports are open on localhost/my PC.

it's the same with another ubuntu 15.10 and a freebox revolution v3.1.6 using UPnp IGD v1 or v2

If it's a security feature because I don't use a password to allow connection, then the checbox "Let automaticcaly open port on router" should be grayed out.

Vino is not under active development anymore and unmaintained.

Please use gnome-remote-desktop instead.

Closing this report as WONTFIX to reflect reality.
