GTA Online ports, NAT settings, what am I doing wrong?
-
I added this and it's stil weird. -
What I also don't understand is whether I only (theoretically) need the static port or the port forwarding set up as well.
-
UPNP is just automatic port forwarding.
So you can either setup port forwarding manually, or use UPNP.
Considering your use case is GTA and you're asking this type of question, I'm going to suggest UPNP for you.Get rid of all your port forwarding rules you have tried to get this working
Turn on UPNP in both the router and in game (if it has the option)
Follow my link to make UPNP more compatible as above.Focus on securing PNP AFTER everything is working.
Look at Services-UPNP-UPnP Access Control Lists\You can choose which computers can use UPNP (make this your gaming PC)
If you know which ports GTA uses, you can restrict that too.That's just my suggestion to make life easier.
If you really want security, go ahead and setup port forwarding manually. -
Yup, I'd like to do it manually, I THINK I did it correctly, but I am still confused.
Do I need to set a static port and port forwards both?
The game works, but I still see all this ins the logs
-
I am majorly confused about the source and destination fields.
Plus Rockstar never specified whether the ports are for incoming or outgoing traffic.
Anyway, I created a port alist with all the mentioned ports.
Does this look correct?
Plus my previous question stands - do I need the usual port forwards in addition to this?
-
Really noone?
The above posted screenshot from the logs is what typically happens when I try to look for a new session.
Sometimes I end up with one with players and more often I don't. I don't get it. If the connections were completely blocked, I would never get into a session with any other players. -
Believe me, people here are dealing with more serious theme than the GTA (I wanted to help, but you didn't let me):

How many times and languages do I need to explain I will NOT use uPnP to you?

You're an idiot or a troll, I don't care. I don't have patience for people like you. Blocked.
