Need Help With Ports and NAT Types

Joshua7417 · Sep 9, 2017

I haven't really looked much into it really, but I'm interested if there's anything I can do.

So, basically here's the problem, I play on PC, while my brother usually plays PS4, and they require the same ports for certain games usually.Only one device can use them at a time, so only one of us can have an Open NAT and the other gets Moderate / Strict NAT. Is there any solution to have two devices with Open NATs?

No. Nat solve the problem you are sharing a single IP address there is no NAT function that will allow multiple machine to share a single port.

There really is no solution it is a flaw in the design of console game that assume that only one console can be at a location running the same game. If they let you select ports or sorta randomly assigned them it would not be a issue.

Since I do not play console games I do not have much experience but I though only 1 end had to be open the other person could be behind even a strict connection. Now this I mean the remote person you are playing against not the person in your house.

The only way you get around this is to somehow get another IP address. Paying the ISP would be the most direct if they offer it. I have seen other people recommend VPS hosting centers and run your own vpn server but this costs money too.
