NAT Type: Moderate/Strict

[Imfuuz]

Hello, I am fairly new this and I have just setup a VDS as a VPN on my Xbox 360 but I am getting Nat type: strict/moderate. I was wondering if there is a way to change to this a Nat Type: Open?

This is will enable me to be able to connect my more people online as Im limited at the moment, thank you!

Where specifically do you see this message showing up?

The VDS server itself shouldn't be restricted in that way, but the OS you are running on it may. Which OS are you running?

Thank you for the reply, I am sharing the connection through my pc to xbox 360. I see this on my xbox showing up Nat type: Strict.

When not connected to the VDS to the xbox my nat type is open

I am running Debian 8 (Jessie)

I am using OpenVPN to connect to

Unless something is being blocked on the OS(make sure no firewall is enabled..etc), it sounds like the system may be thinking your NAT type if strict because it cannot do anything with UPnP, but that's just a wild guess. Are you actually having an issue with people being unable to connect to you?

Do you have the ports forwarded for your XBox on your router? I would look there first.
