Windows 10 Xbox Console Companion NAT Type is STILL Strict after many solutions attemped.

BrandiniNZ · Feb 14, 2021

This became a problem when I wanted to play cross platform with my friends on Minecraft Windows 10 version. After I couldn't join them or they couldn't join me consecutively, I went to go research about what was going wrong. Turns out it has something to do with the NAT type being strict and needs to be open. So I try to fix this by searching up a solution.

There was a few fixes which was port forwarding and DMZ? I've done both of these and still doesn't work. Also tried doing something with the ports and firewall. There was only one way which worked which was using "Speedify" which looks like a VPN of some sort, but this option is limited, since I don't want to pay for anything.

I've resulted in posting here. I am not on a console so I couldn't really follow any console fixes. Still NAT Strict unless I use that VPN, which I already used up my free 2 GBs. I may of done something wrong with the DMZ or Port Forwarding since I'm not really educated in that area of tech. Need help please!

I use LAN Cable, and I'm pretty sure I'm on Trust Power.
