      @jimp I had some manual rules set up from previous attempts, but they are fairly simple.

      Can you try with those rules disabled?

      Was that working before this version of UPnP?

      We are primarily interested in knowing if this fixed situations that were broken before, or allows things to work with less intervention overall.

        @jimp It was not working with the previous release. There were errors upnp errors in my log, and nothing showing in the upnp status area.

        I'll test disabling the rules, and get back to you but, if it's any help, I forgot to add the second xbox to the alias group at first (so the rules weren't applied to it), and that xbox reported back that it was double-nat'ed. Similarly, I forgot with the 2nd PS4 and the third Switch, they reported NAT Type 3 (rather than 1) and Nat Type 3 (rather than 2).

        Does this answer your question, or would it help for me to retest with the rules completely disabled? (I have hybrid mode set, by the way).

          @jimp PS. Is the boot error I posted something to be concerned with?

            Please test without any Outbound rules enabled.

            Also, do you have any games of the same console that previously had issues with joining a lobby or playing together? If so, are those working now?

              eans, but this seems to do the trick. I'd appreciate it if you let me know if I've done som

              I tested Minecraft on both xboxes with and without the outbound nat rule enabled.

              With; everything worked fine.
              Without; the first xbox was able to connect to the realm fine, but the second hung on "loading resources" before it even got to the main menu for me to join the realm.

              So, I'd say the outbound rule is necessary, at least as far as Xbox goes.

              Note that each console (including PS4 and Switch) reports the NAT as strict and/or double-nat'ed without the rule.

              Oh, I also had "Enable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT" and turned on and "Automatic create outbound NAT rules that direct traffic back out to the same subnet it originated from." in the system/advanced/nat and firewall menu, if that makes a difference.

                That's weird. In my tests, I did not have the outbound rules set up and it seemed to work.

                  That is strange.

                  Not sure what's going on, but for some reason in my configuration, I require the outbound rules.

                  It may be to do with the ATT fiber connection? I've set the ATT box to behave as passthrough directly to the 5100, but I'm not sure that's doing exactly what I hope it is (or else why would people use pfatt?). I suspect that's the cause of the double nat error, and possibly why you're seeing a different result to me.

                  I guess the question I have is, if you add the rule, does your configuration still work?

                    @Marc05 By the way, this was with xbox - I didn't have anywhere near as many issues with the PS4s and the Switches.

                      Adding the rules still keeps it working.

                          @Marc05 My guess is that they'll be necessary for XBox One. You only tested with PS4, correct?

                            I then restarted the UPNP service and tried connecting on both PS4's then received the following:

                            Still not working with both PS4's online have to completely disconnect one to get it to work.
                            Let me know what other settings or logs you might need to help diag.

                            I have assigned Static IPs to both PS4s (192.168.1.30 and 192.168.1.31)

                              Make sure you enable Pure NAT, and check "Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection" under System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT

                                  When playing I get Strict NAT on both devices. Should this be the case with UPnP setup?

                                    Under firewall rules, make an IPv4 allow LAN to any rule with the advanced option checked "Allow IP options". Test again after and see what happens.

                                      @Marc05 said in Test Request: UPnP Fix for Multiple Consoles playing the same game / static port outbound NAT:

                                      @vMAC

                                      Under firewall rules, make an IPv4 allow LAN to any rule with the advanced option checked "Allow IP options". Test again after and see what happens.

                                      Still STRICT

                                        You tried playing the game?

                                        Try following the steps in this guide:
                                        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whGPRC9rQYw

                                        Then test again, first without the outbound NAT rules, and second with them. Make sure the test involves playing a game, and not just doing a network test in the console.

                                          Upgraded today to 2.5.0DEVELOPMENT and getting this error miniupnpd 80987 setsockopt(udp, IPV6_RECVPKTINFO): Invalid argument
                                          After looking at the redmine, it did't look like i needed to update miniupnpd.

                                          Any ideas or more info needed?
