All of this is true. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2016 3:20 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Strict NAT message on Xbox One?
It’s so annoying when a big company like Microsoft makes up nonstandard terms like open/moderate/strict NAT, without really explaining what those terms mean. And imply the ISP is at fault for blocking ports which need to be “opened”, instead of explaining that port forwarding, default DMZ host, or UPnP needs to be configured on the customer’s NAT router, and the game console will need a static IP on the LAN or a DHCP reservation in the router. Also, is it true this is only an issue for peer-to-peer games, not cloud hosted games?

The customer is behind a ubiquiti running NAT with the ubiquiti using a public IP behind one of our Mikrotik's. The Mikrotik does not have any ports blocked, either. Any ideas?
