21.1 Legacy Series / Re: Open NAT possible for Xbox gamers?

« on: March 26, 2021, 05:02:31 am »

I just started a thread wondering the same thing (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=22281.0). I have a feeling there are a lot of pfSense users wanting to migrate for this reason...

All you should need is to port forward port 3074, don't need uPNP.

But this isn't very reassuring. Would be nice to know if anyone has tested multiple consoles on the same network.

21.1 Legacy Series / OPNsense gaming performance?

« on: March 25, 2021, 08:10:56 pm »

How well does OPNsense perform with desktop and console gaming? Would it be worth opening a new subforum specifically for this topic?

The reason I ask... just google "PFsense multiple consoles" or "PFsense uPnP." Their implementation has been scuffed for four years. Or take a peek at the PFsense gaming forum. This consumer-ready software sure is a pain in the ass for consumers. 

Can we get a "POGGERS" in the chat for Feature #7727, born into a life of eternal misery on 7/26/2017? https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7727

Anyway, can anyone comment on OPNsense and what configuration is needed to achieve the golden "Open NAT Type" when it comes to what's reported from Xbox Networking (Windows > Settings > Gaming > Xbox Networking), or when two PCs on the same network launch COD Warzone?

Basically trying to avoid spaghetti NATing every port for every game and PC on my network. Enjoy this schadenfreude: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/153478/pfsense-multiple-pcs-open-nat-a-solution-and-a-grievance
