UPnP and Anno 1800

DonZalmrol

I'm able again to comment on this topic. I had to set up a physical PfSense firewall due to the slow inter-vlan speeds due to a Hyper-V bug. And then I had another ongoing issue with my ISP which is also finally resolved.

So since I currently do not play many multiplayer games I can only comment for Back4Blood and Anno 1800.

B4B = works without any issues
list itemAnno 1800 still have NAT on strict instead of open or moderate

My current settings
Pfsense version = v2.6.0 (stable branch)
Fix applied & debug = OK, screenshot 0

System -> Advanced:

NAT Reflection mode for port forwards = Disabled
Reflection Timeout = 2000 (default)
Enable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT = Unchecked (disabled)
Enable automatic outbound NAT for Reflection = Unchecked (disabled)
TFTP Proxy = nothing selected (default)
See screenshot 1

Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound

Mode = Hybrid Outbound NAT (as I have some servers requiring a static port)
Mappings = No computers present, only 3 server IP mappings
See screenshot 2

Services -> UPnP & NAT-PMP

Enabled = Checked (on)
UPnP Port Mapping = Checked
NAT-PMP Port Mapping = Checked
External Interface = WAN
Interfaces = LAN
Log packets = Checked
Uptime = Checked
No STUN
No UPnP ACLS present
See screenshot 3

Finally
Firewall was rebooted and computer(s) = No solution
In the UPnP log (screenshot 4) you do not see any used ports for Anno 1800 which should be UDP 18000.

Believe something is still not working correctly with the NAT fix,or I'm forgetting something (possibility) or it is a bug in Anno 1800.

Hope the given information can help!

@donzalmrol (myself) Update:

Just found out that if I create an outbound NAT rule for my LAN range (or scoped game PC) I get Anno 1800 in NAT type moderate :)
But that shouldn't be the solutions as UPnP should manage this for you.

Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound

Result:

However no UPnP & NAT-PMP sessions:

@donzalmrol i remember on 2.5 i used to get UPnP & NAT-PMP sessions but for some reason am not getting it with 2.6, i have tried many configurations and am not sure what am doing wrong, hopefully somebody knows the fix.

Can you provide a detailed view of the relevant NAT rule settings for those of us who are not so savvy?
