    Seems they updated it to ports 1024 - 65535 which is only marginally better. Meaning someone at Nintendo put some thought into it and still decided that this is the best guidance they can give…

    I had connection issues with the wiiu and pfsense. I remember coming across a support article to the same tune as this. Sent it to my room mate who is the most skilled network engineer i’ve known and i gotta say, i have never heard a laughter like that before. The mockery was thick.

    Anyway, the actual issue is nat-port randomization in pfsense. Just set nat to preserve source port and you’ll be good.

      Yeah, latest update offers a more stable NAT port translation system for consoles and gaming. It comes at lower security, so it is an option to enable.

    Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router’s unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.
