General Discussion / Re: Strict NAT Gaming - Enable UPNP plugin the way to go?

« on: April 19, 2023, 02:33:18 am »

upnp should work for you. If both your sons play the same game at the same time this may pose a problem with with keeping an open NAT.

Can I please have some assistance, as this is precisely the problem I am facing with Call of Duty Cold War on both my PS5 & PC. I have just posted a thread about it here https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23709.0 in more detail.

I can attest this works like a charm. have two xbox's and all can play COD at the same time without issue.

23.1 Legacy Series / Re: Protectli F2C OPT1 Netgear AP not seeing internet

Did you set up firewall rules for the WiFi network? Only the first network (LAN) gets default rules to allow all.

Only some rules are created automatically on additional interfaces, like rules for DHCP. If you want this network to be able to access the internet, you have to create some rules manually. Also take a look what has been configured for NAT. Can't tell whether this is needed, since the interesting part of the addresses have been redacted.

Thank you for the reply.

It turned out to be the rules for DHCP and NAT.

23.1 Legacy Series / Protectli F2C OPT1 Netgear AP not seeing internet

OK, i have missed something on one side or the other of this equation.

Protectli F2C with OPNSense latest
(works great) WAN - IGC0 - ISP IP
(works great) LAN - IGC1 - x.x.82.1/24
WiFi - IGC2 - x.x.83.1/24 (Netgear AX8 RA70 in AP mode, STATIC-x.x.83.2/24-WAN port as directed by netgear)

I can see and connect to the WiFi but nothing sees the internet. All WiFi devices have IP on x.x.83.1/24
no subnet isolation
