PortWatch, a UPnP gateway monitor applet


I got tired of having wacky issues with UPnP port forwarding on my router with no ability to determine what is going on. I had used miniupnpc in TankTank and so was familar with the interface so I took it and feedindicator, mashed them together and came up with my own app to list current UPnP port mappings off the router and pop up notifications when the current routings change.

Yay for lazy holidays. The code is up on github as always. Under GPL3 due to feedindicator doing the same. The code itself isn't pretty, I still don't claim to know python.
