In some examples, the notification transmitted to the administrator may specify the identity of the client device, the forwarding rule that corresponds to the identity of the client device, the context of the application that initiated the request on the client device, and/or an indication as to whether the client device is expected to initiate requests to open ports to facilitate UPnP connections.

In some examples, the identity of the client device may include and/or represent a technology category of the client device, a make or model of the client device, at least one feature of the client device, an address of the client device, variations or combinations of one or more of the same, or any other suitable identity.

In some examples, the method may also include determining that the restriction prevents any UPnP connections between the client device and remote devices. Additionally or alternatively, the method may include preventing the connection between the client device and the remote device from being established.

In some examples, the method may also include determining that the restriction prevents UPnP connections between the client device and remote devices located in a certain geolocation. In such examples, the method may further include determining that the remote device attempting to establish the connection with the client device is located in the certain geolocation and then preventing the connection between the client device and the remote device from being established due at least in part to the certain geolocation of the remote device.
