Do you mean that I should NOT have any issues with NAT being Open?
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?

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