Bsnl ftth PS4 NAT Type

@stringer.6 Dude, you can't use port forwarding and UPnP at the same time. Turn off the UPnP and see if it works

@Nitin That's wrong. I'm using UPnP and manual port forwarding for several applications and devices simultaneously in my home. P2P, Gaming, Streaming you name it.

Isn't IP block allocated for cg-nat 100.64.0.0?. The ip is in 172 block which is simple nat

CG NAT just means carrier grade NAT which is just large scale NAT doesn't mean that only if you use a specific IP range it becomes that way.

 

[Dark_Nate]

Yes, here it is for my Tenda Router.

Since you're already in bridge mode. That's perfect. No need to do anything in your ONT. And your ISP is impressive for setting up bridge mode initially. Most Indian ISPs are too stupid to do this.

Next, since we are talking about PlayStation. Simple use DMZ for your PS.
No need to port forward etc. DMZ is one of the ways to bypass CGNAT restrictions. But it may not work, test it out.

Do not use DMZ for PC etc, unless you are willing to configure the firewall thoroughly.

So it's dmz and port-forwarding than

@Nitin
For consoles, DMZ is fine really. No security risk there even for novice users. It's just a console.

Manual port forwarding is not needed for DMZ. Plus it is CGNAT. Port forwarding will not work. DMZ for him will likely work since his ONT is already in bridge mode.

@stringer.6 If you are getting NAT type 2 (moderate) that's the best you're going to get with your ISP.
You can't do anything unless you pay for static IP and open all the ports if you are isp offers that.

So what you are saying is that its the end of the line for me as of now..
I need to wait and ask my ISP for a static IP ?

 

[Dark_Nate]

@stringer.6 You don't need static IP. Try DMZ for the PS first. It should work and give you Open NAT. If it doesn't work, then you'll need static IP or request to opt-out of CGNAT.

@Dark_Nate What i mean by not using port forwarding and upnp at the same time is that if UPnP is already enabled, you can't use port forwarding for the same device because upnp will already open the requested ports

@stringer.6 If you try dmz, disable port forwarding
