NAT type 3 whilst tethering PS4, how can I fix this?

[JOHNNY84]

Never had this problem until I switched to Vodafone yesterday on PayM contract, please help.

Hi the limitation isn't put in place by playstation but by the ISP in this case Vodafone...  the main reason why this isn't working for people is purely because you provide private IP address to your sim cards instead of public ip address.. therefore the NAT will always be type 3 unless the ip is public then it will be type 2 and if the IP is in DMZ the Nat type would be 1. 

Stop putting this on playstation I was sole my new contract on the basis that I could play online by tethering but clearly that was a lie and I am still waiting for a call from your tech support which still didn't happen!
