Product 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.

Will this work for online gaming - Version: 1.2.5, 6/28/2008 04:50AM PST

I just purchased CIV4 and I am not able to connect with a friend and we both have 10.5.3. I find the new port mapping to be a whole helluva lot complicating than the previous OS. Trying to make heads or tails of it. thinking that this will help? anyone?

Well lately using leopard azureus has been giving me plenty of kernel panics and I never could get any speed out of transmission due to my ports always being stealth or blocked even when I forwarded the ports. Then when I was reading some forums I stumbled across this, downloaded it, and now transmission downloads just as fast as azureus if not faster, my ram isn't being used as much and no more kernel panics. plus the port is always open. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars.
