delete_port_forward

Preview deletion of a port-forward (DNAT) rule.

v0.7.0: this tool no longer deletes on its own. It returns a preview envelope with a token; call confirm_destructive_action(token) to commit the delete. Tokens expire after 5 minutes.

Side effects:

  • None until confirm_destructive_action runs against the token.
  • On confirm: removes the NAT rule. The internal service stops being reachable from the WAN immediately.
  • dry_run=True returns the legacy would_delete envelope with no token — purely informational, no commit step possible.
