NAT Type Strict

[Genx]

My NAT type is showing as strict whereas it suggests to have it at moderate or open. Any ways to fix it? I have tried putting the ports in router settings but it doesnt seem to work.

port forwarding doesn't change your NAT type. you need to set the NAT In your router menu, should be a NAT setting in the security menu.

If you follow this advise you are likely going to be scratching your head wondering why your Internet access is now broken.

You can handle the strict warning one of two ways:

1. Port Forwarding
Destiny 2 uses ports 3074 and 3097 UDP for player matching.
In your router, forward those ports incoming to your WAN address to the local IP address of your computer.

2. UPnP Mapping
This is not a great idea from a security standpoint as you can issue SOAP requests and enumerate an internal network off the WAN IP, but it can work in a pinch (or with decent firewall rulesets in your router).
With this enabled, Destiny 2 will register itself (as DemonWare Middleware I believe) and become available to incoming requests over PMP dynamically.

Again, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAT TYPE FROM YOUR ROUTER.

EDIT:
If you need assistance configuring port forwards, just let me know.

Check your operating system's firewall. Also, some anti-virus provide a form of firewall. You should open UDP ports 3074 and 3097.

He already did ports, If he has Strict NAT, he will NEVER get in, hence the reason BUNGIE tells you to use MODERATE.....

I'm sitting behind a dedicated firewall with overloaded NAT and have open on the STUN test because the ports are correctly forwarded. "Strict, Moderate, Open" aren't networking terms you are going to find in your router (because they aren't networking terms). Sounds almost like he's in a double-NAT environment. Regardless, randomly changing your NAT settings from a router will likely result in you with no Internet access (especially when the person who told you to do that doesn't understand how these things work).

Do you have more than one router/device sitting between you and the Internet? Again, if you need help just msg me.

That's kinda the nature of peer-to-peer networking. In theory everything should work fine if showing Moderate (OP was on Strict though) for most people. They can't be expected to have 100% success across every connection in the world for obvious reasons, but I feel they could have designed this out a little better (beaver and bee codes a good example of that). Still, P2P does make the game longevity last longer (look at Payday 2 or Warframe).

I need help with configuring port forwards, there are more fields to be filled, and i don't know what's what... Thank you in advance.
