Apply strict NAT but allow specific ports to be forwarded.
Apply strict NAT but allow specific ports to be forwarded.
Hey, I faced the same challenge with my NAT being stuck in strict mode. It was affecting how I hosted and joined games. After some troubleshooting, I managed to forward the necessary ports, and my static IP worked perfectly. However, certain games still showed strict NAT despite the correct ports being forwarded. For instance, Call of Duty: WWII and Destiny 2 appeared open, while UNO and Grand Theft Auto V insisted on strict NAT. I had to contact my ISP to get port forwarding set up without routerlogin access. They confirmed everything was correct but didn’t help much. I’ve tried disabling the firewall, running as admin, and restarted the system, but nothing seems to resolve it. I’m leaning toward avoiding the DMZ setup since I prefer keeping things secure on other devices. P.S. It seems UNO sometimes allows hosting, but it feels inconsistent with strict NAT rules.
It seems like you're expressing frustration about a lack of responses. Let me know how I can assist!
Sure, I purchased the game yesterday. I tried everything I could, but I’m unsure how to fix it—maybe we can look up help on Reddit.
