    Do these port forwards look correct based on these requirements?

        Apparently this game is.  All my networking issues in the game have disappeared after opening NAT.

          Huh?  Dude no opening ports to your console is not a security issue.  Now what ports are actually listed as being used..  Look under status UPnP and it will show you what ports were opened.

              well sure looks like only 3074 udp to me.. that other port is skype - are you running skype?

              3074 is not listed in your first port forwards.  So that would explain why its now working with UPnP, you had the wrong ports open.

                Those ports I opened were directly from Ubisoft's website.  They never mentioned 3074.

                  Well they missed it clearly ;)  Not the first time KB articles about what ports to use are completely nonsense.  Like how they state 80 and 443 and 53, etc..  And make it seem like those need to be inbound vs just outbound ports.

                  Clearly UPnP opened 3074, no other ports are listed other than that skype, turn off skype and see if that goes away. Just play your game and look what ports are forwarded.. Then turn off UPnP and forward the port(s).

                    Those two skype ports and the 3074 port are the only ones showing up in the list.  I turned the UPnP back off, set the NAT Outbound back to auto, created a new port forward for 3074 UDP, and launched the game.  I can't tell if this is affecting the game yet.

                      I'm only seeing one person on the map.  After a few minutes that did not change, so it looks like I need all that other stuff set in pfSense.  I'm not seeing any traffic going out over 3000 or 3074 in firewall log, only 3001.

                        Dude - remove all your forwards.  Enable UPnP - does it work now?  What parts are in use.

                        Disable UPnP and put in the forwards manual.  Or just leave UPnP on.. You do not need both for it to work.. either UPnP will work, or you correctly forward the ports.  You do not need both.
