@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.
A single client device can Utilise UPnP and manual ports simultaneously.@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
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.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.
Will wait to speak to my ISP for a Static IP.
then will take the matter forward.
