PS4 Party Chat
For about a week I haven't been able to get PS4 party chat to work properly, I have had my router for over a year and have not changed any setting recently although I got an email about a new update ...

How do you put your PS4 in spectating mode?
Thanks

Hey there.
It's under the geofilter tab. When you click the tab, you will see whatever devices you have connected. Mine shows my PS4. Then it gives you 2 options. Either filtering mode, or spectating mode. I leave my PS4 on spectating mode now. It is much less of a hassle when playing. If I'm with friends. And for certain games like fortnite, ping, destiny etc I'd recommend it for sure. If I'm by myself playing cod modern warfare, then I usually change the option from spectating mode to filtering mode.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the explanation. I am having connection issues with PS4 since the 7.50 firmware update. i cant connect to any games using my vpn. i did try the spectating mode and still could not get it to connect. if i dont have the vpn the game connects fine. Have been trying to fix this since yesterday
- CujomaApr 18, 2020GuideAre you having an open nat when you are on your PS4 dashboard, settings and network test? There are apparently a ton of issues with 7.50 update. Not sure if that's related.

I have NAT type 2 on normal connection and VPN connection so it doesnt seem to be a NAT issue.
