PS5 NON-Stop LAG Spikes.. 80ms to 1500ms to 800 ms to 80 to 2500 etc

Hey

So I by no means say it is OPNSense, I simply am curious if there is possibly anything I need to do for PS5 [Console in general] in terms of opening ports? I assume all access is initiated inside out therefore I would not need any access, but, anything NAT wise or specific to PS5 or Game console?

PC games, like world of warcraft, never lag spikes. Seems it is only PS5 [Call of duty] or Xbox 360 [sea of thieves]

PS5 says NAT Type 3 if that helps..

Yeah so like, when one does not know all we can do is google, I mean every time I ask anyone anything on a game "google is your best friend" so, this is what I found and modified the ports [from ps4 to ps5] and of course my IP etc... I still get NAT TYPE 3

Maybe you have CGNAT?

Usually NAT type 3 can cause performance issues for Consoles for some specific games, this can be fixed by creating an Outbound NAT rule and have static-port enabled.

Show your NAT rules (picture) and tell us if your WAN is behind CGNAT.
