Publisher's description

From HomeNetMagic :

PortMapper is a freeware tool which helps home users open/close ports in their routers and gateways securely. It automatically maps and manages ports in the router, enabling online multiplayer game play without disturbing the gaming session. PortMapper is more secure than manually opening and closing ports, because it opens the ports only when needed and automatically closes them when you are finished playing. PortMapper works with your Internet gateway/router in such a way that you can have control on the programs that communicate over your network. Using PortMapper, you can expose applications to your friends over the Internet in a safe manner. It also supports wireless connectivity and notifies you when you go out of range of the gateway.

"Worst program ever! It deletes your desktop!"

by TechDude1945 on July 7, 2009

Pros: Who cares, the cons outweigh the adverse effects.

Cons: It deleted my desktop when I uninstalled it. I had to do data recovery to get my files back. This download is not worth your time. It's comparable to the Trojan Desktophijack C. Congrats, this software is a complete failure.
