- Apr 01, 2020Does the console report an Open NAT? If so then the game will have an open NAT also, it will most likely be the Geo-Filter causing a misreading. You could use either option but I wouldn't suggest using both, probably DMZ would be more secure/considerate of your other devices.

- MRS911Apr 01, 2020Guidein ps4 console i have NAT : 2 so now better for me using DMZ with UPNP enabled ? UPNP just only open one port : 3659 UDP its normal ? 
- Netduma-FraserApr 01, 2020NetDuma PartnerNAT Type 2 is open, that means it is behind a router so that is good. Yes you could use DMZ with UPnP. It is normal as it will only show ports that are open at the time/when they are needed.
