[SOLUTION] NAT Type Strict on Gigacube

Hello I noticed there's a lot of people asking for a solution for the strict NAT type while gaming on consoles. 

 

After much reading on various forums I've managed to forward the ports for multiple consoles connected to my Gigacube network

 

The solution I've found unfortunately involves paying for an additional service, the L2TP from Andrews and Arnold's.

 

This requires you to configure the VPN settings on your gigacube's admin portal using the details emailed to you once you purchase the L2TP service from AAISP. 

 

If you contact technical support at AAISP, they will be able to guide you on how to configure the VPN settings correctly. 

 

This process will give you a static IP, allowing your UpNP to port forward for consoles

Others report that simply configuring the VPN settings changed their NAT straight away but I had to ask a technical support adviser at AAISP to apply a /29 IP range to my account with them which for some reason instantly forwarded the ports on my xbox, however, on other consoles you'll have to manually select a different port on the advanced settings for the console itself. 

 

Hope this helps.

I had to ask A&A to apply a /29 IP range to my account with them and the ports opened instantly 

Just out of interest how much is the A/A VPN?
