What is my nat type?

Your NAT type refers to your network address translation, which determines how your device communicates with other devices and the internet. There are three main types of NAT:

  1. NAT Type 1 (Open): This type typically means that your device is directly connected to the internet without any restrictions. You should have no issues connecting to other devices or online services.

  2. NAT Type 2 (Moderate): This is the most common type of NAT and means that your device is connected to the internet through a router or firewall. While you should be able to connect to most devices and services, you may experience some limitations.

  3. NAT Type 3 (Strict): This type is the most restrictive and may cause issues with connecting to certain devices or services. It is usually due to strict firewall settings or other restrictions on your network.

It is important to have at least a NAT Type 2 connection for optimal online gaming and communication. You can check your NAT type by accessing your network settings on your device or by running a network test on your console or PC. If you have a NAT Type 3 connection, you may need to adjust your network settings or contact your internet service provider for assistance.
