      I will start by saying that I have been able to get all of the consoles in the house (4 Xbox ones, a PS4, and a Nintendo Switch) on an open NAT by creating a static port for each system and enabling UPnP. In order to get the Xbox Ones to coexist, I had to manually select the port for it to use within each xbox's settings.

      Using the same method of creating a static IP and static port for my PC, I was able to get my NAT type for XBOX Networking (and Destiny 2) from a strict state to moderate.

      Ideally I would like to get my system's NAT type to open.

      Important Notes
      I do not have any manual port forward rules created.
      I used the wizard to create a basic traffic shaping rule prioritizing game traffic and de-prioritizing peer to peer connections.( I am aware that some games still use peer to peer connections for multiplayer.)
      Outbound NAT is Hybrid.

        Hello,

        Try to separate your alias xboxgroup (do a alias for each one).
        Disable your rule prioritizing.
        Create ACL for UPnP

        It's works for me with 2 Xbox One, except for Warframe game.
        Test with this configuration (copy/paste from an other post)

        I have manies issues with Warframe on 2 Xbox on the same ISP (only 1 public IP address).
        In Warframe, I can't invite a friend to join me.
        At the best, only 1 Xbox can see the other player, launch a invit but an error message tell "The player is offline).

        All the network test on Xbox is OK : (Internet, Multiplayer and NAT Open)
        I try with other game (Rocket League and Warhammer Vermintide) without problem.

        I use PFsense 2.4.3-RELEASE (amd64)

        Firewall / NAT / Outbound

        Mode : Manual Outbound NAT

        Interface : WAN
        Source : Xbox1 (alias for 192.168.0.16)
        Port Source : any
        Destination : any
        Port Destination : anay
        NAT Address : WAN
        NAT Port : any
        Static Port : YES

        Interface : WAN
        Source : Xbox2 (alias for 192.168.0.17)
        Port Source : any
        Destination : any
        Port Destination : anay
        NAT Address : WAN
        NAT Port : any
        Static Port : YES

        Services / UPnP & NAT-PMP

        • Enable UPnP & NAT-PMP

        • Allow UPnP Port Mapping

        • Allow NAT-PMP Port Mapping

        • External Interface : WAN

        • Interface : LAN + loopback

        • ACL Entries : allow 1-65535 192.168.0.16 1-65535

        • ACL Entries : allow 1-65535 192.168.0.17 1-65535

        System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT

        • NAT Reflection mode for port forwards : Pure NAT
        • Enable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT
        • Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection

        Firewall / NAT / Port Forward

        Nothing, because I activate UPnP

        Actually, I must use the bad ISP-box only for Warframe ;-)

        Regards,

        Aym
