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?

    Hi all,

    I agree with Shred, I set up a rule for the Xbox with no IPS, etc and it works fine now.

    Not sure why the need for insecure uPnP to get these sorts of devices working. Lets face it, most home users would never use XG as their router/firewall, so the home edition is really geared towards more advanced users. These users should understand the basics of how a firewall works and what is required to get the Xbox and other similar devices to work, otherwise they may as well go back to using their ISP provided router.

    A big thumbs up to Sophos for providing the Home version of the XG, it is great. I spent a while using Untangle to give me something more powerful at home than your typical home router but found it unreliable and the full set of features required a subscription. Back in the day I used Smoothwall, IP Cop and others and this is by far the most polished free piece of software I've seen.

    Cheers,

    Ben
