Hey guys, i just wanted to know if freelancer uses UPNP or any other kinds of P2P ports, because i dont want people to just break into my computer and change settings i dont want to happen.

Thanks for you time.

To be honest that sounds very paranoid...To play any online game you have to have ports open...I'm not an expert in Ports and stuff but I know that no one (or very VERY rarely) has anyone reported being hacked whilst playing online. A decent firewall would block a hacker attack anyway, however apparently some firewalls block Freelancer...There's also an inbuilt firewall in your router (if you use one).

But as I said I'm not an expert on this topic, but the risk must be incredibly low otherwise people wuldn't play online games...
