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.

So have you looked into it? do you have an update?

Dear vodafone are have you solved or find a solution for this nat type problem?

I'm currently having the same issue, 

I switched from the unlimited lite SIM (where I had type 3 NAT) but I could connect to every game, to going to the unlimited max SIM, obviously still type 3 NAT still but I can't connect to online games like grand theft auto for example but call of duty it works completely fine.

I'm having the exact same problem, gta won't work but cod will. I've tried changing my ip address, using a vpn, changing my DNS and many more. Has anyone found a solution yet as it's 2024 and if the issue still isn't sorted then it's been 7 years...come on, it's about time

So how comes other networks can do it but Vodafone can't? A massive $b company and they can't speed up tethering. That's very disappointing, especially when I don't have wifi.

This did not solve my problem still nat type 3

Hi @TheKidNoInterne - your Vodafone SIM card is a NAT type 3 (Strict) to protect your information behind a firewall and can't be changed. This restricts Playstation/XBOX servers from being able to connect, as they need NAT type 1 or 2.

The Amanda thing doesn't work by the way I've tried it out and changing the DNS just hasn't solved my problem

Hi,

I can connect and download/upload data, but it severely restricts connectivity. I had 3 mobile in the past and did not encounter this problem.
Settings were updated as suggested but still to no avail. Is there anything you can tweak at your end with regards to my account?

Thanks,
Sean

As this is a restriction put in place by Playstation, it’s not something we can change from our end, on your account.

The Google DNS settings Amanda mentioned above, usually allows unrestricted tethering access as it’s a trusted domain.

There may be other forum users on here, who can offer further workaround suggestions though.
