+UPNnP port forwarding
+=====================
+
+To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
+
+::
+
+    qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
+
+(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
+
+This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping.  It can be downloaded from
+http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/.  UPnP support is not compiled in by default.  
+
+Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
+
++------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| USE_UPNP=  | (the default) no UPnP support, miniupnp not required;        |
++------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| USE_UPNP=0 | UPnP support turned off by default at runtime;               |
++------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| USE_UPNP=1 | UPnP support turned on by default at runtime.                |
