Port Forwarding Xbox Live Services to Xbox One Results 'Strict NAT'.

ChrisLynch

Happy New Year everyone.

I have 2 Business Rules setup on my brand new Sophos XG firewall (Firmware 15.01.0):

 

However, when I do various tests on my Xbox One, it always shows as "NAT Type: Strict".

The UDP Ports are 88, 500, 3074, 3544 and 4500.  TCP Ports are 88 and 3074.

I really wish Sophos would add uPNP support for situations like this.  Yes, I'm fully aware of the security implications of uPNP, but for home users (especially with multiple Xbox's like me), setting up Port Forwarding isn't a fun thing to do.

Am I missing something here?

    Just create a bypass rule for your Xbox and use NAT. I did on mine and not sure why this won't work in your situation. Even if you get port forwarding working the way you like, eventually you are going to run into an issue with Netflix and other streaming services not connecting if you are scanning for malware on your default network policy.

    Not sure where the OP stated anything about Netflix but you are correct, All the streaming devices that are not Windows computers or laptops to to be excluded from all the HTTP and HTTPS scanning as well as the 'web filter' set to none and everything works.
