NAT Type 3 on PS4 - I've tried everything I can think of
-
I also can't seem to get this to work. I attached screenshots of my UPNP setting and outbound NAT settings. My Box has 3 nic's (1 not used), WAN is an external IP, LAN is in 10.0.0.0 range. PS4 has an alias to 10.0.0.3. The PS4 has a static IP set on the PS4. Kindly let me know if I missed something.
Thanks a lot!

Looks good except for one checkbox:
In your UPnP settings, put a checkmark into "Default Deny"
@Jespar
Enabling NAT-PMP is not necessary for PS4, we're using UPnP. -
PS4 is reporting a Type 3 NAT which is restrictive. I've tried what I thought would fix it, and I've looked up many threads with similar issues and I cannot seem to resolve this.
I've tried it with NAT and Port Forwarding and with Aliases. Anyone have any ideas?
I have tried many consoles in many different configurations. What I found is that NAT type isn't so important as different consoles will rate your NAT as II or III depending on how they are programmed. What matters is does it work. This is what I used to make it work.
1) No port forwarding at all.
2) Set to static port for that particular console.
3) Don't use VPN. (Not sure if PIA port forwarding servers would work though).
4) You don't need to do anything else so clear out any other settings you changed for it. No DMZ zone, upnp or anything is needed. Leave things at default.
This is all you have to do and it will work. I also find you.
Disclamer: I haven't tested this on Xboxes.
