As you've set NAT to Open you should have any issues with ports or NAT, by UPnP not working are you referring to no entries in the table or you're having port issues?

Do you mean that I should NOT have any issues with NAT being Open?&nbsp;yes, I have no active entries in uPnP table.

Yeah, you should not see any NAT issues in game for example with this configuration.
How are you testing UPnP? Are you actively playing a game for example, then monitoring UPnP to see if any entries appear?

mr_nguyen · Answer

I'm trying to run multiple online nodes so uPnP is required to assign ports to the respective nodes.&nbsp;Yes, I'm checking the uPnP table but there are no entries and the logs for the nodes states there's issues with uPnP.&nbsp;There was one time when I saw entries in the uPnP table then something happened to it.

For that kind of purpose, using port forwarding would be better as you will always need them open and UPnP may stop opening it if no traffic is detected for a certain amount of time for example.
