OPNSense uPnP vs pFsense uPnP ?

[Wayne.C1972]

Is Upnp of OPNsense broken the same as in pFsense? I have uses pfsense for years but the Upnp has never worked well enough for me to run multiple gaming console (2 Xbox Ones, 1 PS4, 1 Wii, and a gaming PC) at the same same trying to play the same game together. I liked pfsense, but with the lack of working uPnP, I gave up and switched to Untangle. Untangle is fine although I am having an issue will SSL inspection that's not agreeing with our mobile devices. I thought I would give OPNsense a try. But If it has the same issues as pfsense then I won't waste my time as I need working uPnP. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I do not know. Sorry. There's only one way to find out or keep using what works for you.

UPnP works great with OPNsense. I tried pfsense in the past and had problems with UPnP as well. Was never able to obtain an open NAT. I have 2 Xbox One's and 1 PS4. The 2 Xbox's have open NAT and the PS4 has type 2 NAT.

Thank You for the info. I will give it a try today.

Two PS4's in my house and using a Static IP on each PS4, UPnP, and Manual Outbound NAT rules for the PS4's using Static Port gets me NAT Type 2.   

No PS4 services are hindered with NAT Type 2 so it is the most desirable NAT Type as opposed to Open NAT which has its own security concerns with no increased functionality.

So, Yesterday I spent a good bit of time playing with OPNsense and I am disappointed to say that the Upnp didn't work well enough for me. I got my protectli setup and running with OPNsense. installed and configured the Upnp, alone with the static IP for my consoles, switched the outbound mode and added the NAT rules. I was able to get OPEN NAT for both of the XB1s, but was still unable to play the same game, at the same time on each console (Rainbow six siege).  When one console was logged into the game servers the other console could not even make a connection to the game servers. I used this as my guide (https://www.tweaking4all.com/network-internet/pfsense-strict-nat-xbox-one/).  Any thoughts??

I have this working with two XB1.
I am able to get both to have Open NAT for xbox live but for some games, Call of Duty, one will have Open NAT and the other has moderate.
The trick for me was to set one Outbound NAT rule to static port and the other not.
I do not recall any issues with Rainbow Six Siege.
Hope this helps.

Can you try RB6 Siege with both XB1's at the same time? See if you can play together?
