Description:
I'm running a network with static DHCPv4, and sometimes when a new client connects miniupnpd dumps these logs:

There doesn't seem to e a way to disable these and it starts to fill syslog, and since these messages aren't helpful at all they could be disabled.
Thanks!

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the miniupnpd package and the code paths that emit the SSDP and HTTP "not from a LAN" messages, then determine how logging is configured. Done means preventing these repetitive messages from filling syslog while preserving the existing connection rejection behavior.
