@Nitin
For consoles, DMZ is fine really. No security risk there even for novice users. It's just a console.

Manual port forwarding is not needed for DMZ. Plus it is CGNAT. Port forwarding will not work. DMZ for him will likely work since his ONT is already in bridge mode.
 
@stringer.6 If you are getting NAT type 2 (moderate) that's the best you're going to get with your ISP.
You can't do anything unless you pay for static IP and open all the ports if you are isp offers that.

So what you are saying is that its the end of the line for me as of now..
I need to wait and ask my ISP for a static IP ?
 
@stringer.6 You don't need static IP. Try DMZ for the PS first. It should work and give you Open NAT. If it doesn't work, then you'll need static IP or request to opt-out of CGNAT.
 
@Dark_Nate What i mean by not using port forwarding and upnp at the same time is that if UPnP is already enabled, you can't use port forwarding for the same device because upnp will already open the requested ports

Yes @Nitin ,
@Dark_Nate is right. For consoles DMZ is fine.

@Dark_Nate
I think we this is the end of this Conversation as of now.

I will have go with DMZ on my Tenda router and i will speak to the ISP for a static ip option.

Until then thank you to all of my new friends for helping me out .
Stay safe .
Happy lockdown.

A single client device can Utilise UPnP and manual ports simultaneously.

For example on my PC, I use Tribler + UPnP and Popcorn Time + Manual Port forwarding simultaneously. It works.

No problem. First, ask your ISP for removing you from CGNAT and still use dynamic IP. It's more secure. Nobody can DoS or Dox you easily with dynamic IP. Static IP requires more effort from your side to secure everything.

Hmm. It works on pc but i am not sure if it works on ps4
 
So , this is my Final setup

I have disabled port forwarding on the ONT.
I have disabled port forwarding on the Tenda Router.
I have enabled DMZ on the Tenda.

Will wait to speak to my ISP for a Static IP.
then will take the matter forward.

@Nitin Anything inside DMZ bypasses everything in front and in the router itself. He does not need to disable port forwarding. But for a clean and disciplined approach. Yes, he should clear all port forwarding rules and simply use DMZ for the console.

@stringer.6 ONT is in bridge mode. It's simply a media converter when it's in bridge mode. Routing functionality is disabled. You really don't need to do anything in the ONT.
For DMZ Host IP, make sure you assign static LAN IP to your PS4 then set that as Host IP. Viola. PS4 should have open nat now.
 
@Nitin ONT in bridge mode = Media converter. Routing functionalities are disabled. They do absolutely nothing. It's a part of the device possible functions and UI. Of course, the options to configure would always be there.
