I know this will improve your latency for online multiplayer but it will also make you more vulnerable to bad actors, so make sure you understand the risks of giving your device a public IP address.
I just can’t find more explanation into the downsides of it or risks. I know you’ll be in the dmz zone of the internet but can’t find a video explaining how you will actually be exposed to malicious attacks.
Just a sidenote since I work at tech support in my local ISP.. after following these great instructions on how to get Nat Type 1.. if you do all these steps and still have Nat Type 3 you have to call your tech support of your ISP and you can request disabling private IP adress or turning the CGNat off. After that you can check your Nat Type and if It's type 2 then you are good to go with these instructions in order to get type 1.
NAT TYPE 2 is still the recommended configuration for you to have best of both worlds, security and bandwidth latency. If you do not know the acronym of NAT type, your should probably research more and educate yourself on the implication of opening your device to a public address.
Some Routers lacks settings that do not offer NAT switching options. And it may take forever for your internet provider to make the adjustments (over the phone for me). Also you can find a simpler form of your PS4 information in System> System Information.
NAT type 1 will give faster connection speeds but doesn’t it also have the least amount of security? It gives the console full access to the internet without any firewall whereas NAT 2 provides some restrictions?
Thank you for not just showing how to identify your NAT type like basically every other video on RUclips, and call it a “fix”. Pretty much every article online is a copy and paste of each other for ad revenue.
Quickest way to grab the gateway ip is open command prompt in windows and type IPCONFIG and return, it will list all your connections on network usually the gateway ip is listed at bottom of the ip v4 stack
I've tried everything..dmz, port forwarding, bridged modem' ECT. Still nat type 3. Ive been trying for a few years, watched countless videos and read many articles, tried all their suggestions, bought a new router, tried all the setting on that, still nat type 3.

What are you all talking about ??? Your Nat type has nothing to do with your internet connection being good or bad as if it's a podium place. Nat 1 = directly plugged into a modem (1 IP address) Nat 2 = plugged into a modem/router (many IP addresses 192.168.....) Nat 3 = restricted (network problem) I made John Glasscock aware of this yrs ago as the video description was misleading.
Yo, just FYI NAT1 is not secured. It’s Open NAT. If your PS4 is out in the DMZ that may be ok. If not you may be opening your network to the entire internet. There are semester long courses on NATing. Making it trivial may be a disservice.
Thanks for the feedback. I have never observed or found an instance where this happened to an individual's PS4 as a result of NAT type 1, nor has it happened to mine to this day. It is more common to experience the entire PSN to go down
Okay so, if Nat 1 makes you more, "public" does that by proxy make you prone to hacking? If yes, then does a VPN account (like Nord or whatever ect.) solve this issue or would it still not matter?
For a gaming application like the PlayStation it won't make a difference. I have never experienced any issues, nor observed anyone else ever having issues, as a result of having an Open NAT (Type 1) on the PSN.
I like your videos but I don't think nat type 1 is safe. Its a lot easier to be hacked on ps4 if you bypass the firewall. So I wouldn't recommend leaving these settings on for extended periods of time. You can always set a static ip for your consol and open specific ports for the game you're playing. Overall I really like your channel! Its straightforward informative content and you're doing an awesome job 😀
@@jus4455 says the guy who replied to a year old post one hour ago lmao 🤣 I couldn't believe I still had notifications on. My comment is older than you are lol
As a former networking professional. This helpful guy is sorta misinformed. NAT is network address translation and used to save ip addresses and make connections easier. Changing it to NAT 1 could in theory improve speeds because the router isn't needing to process the address from the router to the ps4. The NAT from the ISP to your router is set already by the the ISP and that information includes your physical address.
This doen't have anything to do with your NAT as such,...its just opened all the ports for the PS4....NAT Type is to do with how many devices or sub stations or relays your connection has to go through before it reaches the exchange....you either have NAT Type 1 or you don't, due to the location. It may sometimes be possible go from NAT type 2 to NAT type 1 if you open the ports (DMZ) but if you were not in a NAT type 1 location to begin with, you would stay on NAT type 2. Going on the DMZ does not inprove latency (speed/ping) either, it just allows you to join everyone..even players on Strict or Moderate connections, as you've opened all your ports. The only way to improve you connection speed (latency) is to rent a Leased Line connection but this is Business Class product as the Contention ratio is 1 to 1..unlike broadband which is up to 300 to 1 contention...but you will need at least £250 -£300 per month for 100mb connection in the UK, not sure how much in the US. Also, NEVER put your PC or Laptop, or any network device on the DMZ...you can be port scanned. PS4 is generally safer. Hope this helps
Help please! I just got a moxee turbo Hotspot and my ps4 says I have nat 3 type connection. Is it possible to change nat 3 to nat 2 WITHOUT a computer? I do have a new 5g galaxy smartphone. Do you know if it's possible to make the change using my phone? Thanks
Using DMZ is basically exposing your PS to the internet, basically meaning that anyone accessing your PS over the internet, also has access to your local network if he knows what he is doing. DMZ is the dumbest thing you can use, unless the PS is the ONLY device on your local network.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you that any device that is connected to the internet is exposed to risks such as these. Currently, I have never heard nor observed any instance that a PS4 was compromised as a result of an Open NAT. To this day it has only helped me with my online multiplayer experience tremendously, especially in terms of matchmaking speeds and lag smoothness.

Hi I’m on PS5 using an Xfinity router (the singular black box they give by default) I disabled my security entirely on the routers firewall via pc but I still can’t get to type 1 NAT? i was looking for DMZ options on pc but it sends me to the app and I didn’t see it anywhere on the app. I also reset a bunch of times between this to be sure. Any clue what I might be missing? I’m NAT type 2 currently and also was wondering if I turned off my wifi entirely would it make my ethernet cable connection more stable?
NAT type changes how open your connection is to the PSN. A more open connection allows you to find more users, and therefore a more optimal match, to join so that matchmaking yields the lowest ping and lag.
Hey John I got a question umm so my brother bought skyrim on the ps4 a long time ago and a few weeks ago i noticed I didn't have the game anymore so I went to the playstation store and there was only the vr version and the special edition and I remember there being a normal edition because I even once told my friend about it and I think they deleted but if that happened would my game be deleted too? I'm a bit stressed cause it is Skyrim pls respond if u can
Dont dz your pc ip address cause someone could remote freely or "hacked" your pc. Interm of ps4.. since PS4 is more closed system, Only to play games. Doubt someone will hacked it.
I know it's 2 years ago but just because he says he's not heard any issues i have. My brother did this and 3 months later got hacked and all his banking was corrupted since most people have their bank card on ps4 to buy games, they also took all his games to. DO NOT DO THIS, ITS LIKE LEAVING YOU FRONT DOOR OPEN AND ANYONE CAN WALK IN. there's a reason ps4 is set up to NAT 2. Safety. And it makes no difference in gaming online, because the game itself has a safe port to put you in, NAT 1 does nothing. Find what the game runs on, and proceed there. This is very dangerous information you're giving out, how do we know how many friends you have ect. DONT TRY AND FIX WHAT ISNT BROKE IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's easy to run a cable threw you're home, he's obviously too lazy to do this. After all this that's what my brother did, and that in itself made his ps4 run faster.
Can you login to your router from a web browser like I did in this video? Then you should be able to find the IP or MAC address of your PS4 under the connected devices list within your router settings. You should be able to open the NAT by selecting that specific device by editing its permissions while it's connected to your router.
You probably know this is very dangerous. A better way to improve latency might running a DNS test on non cached websites and choosing the fastest most stable one. Switching to wired from wireless. Finally, opening up the ports that your games tend to favor.
Good points, and thank you for the feedback. The nice benefit of NAT Type 1 is that it can automatically open your system up to ports, which makes it much easier than figuring out the best ones manually via port forwarding.
Is there a way to do it with my cellphone? I play on PS4 using mobile data because I don't have an ISP where I live and when I connect through my phone's hotspot it always gives me NAT Type 3.
I can play ps3 no problems. I got a ps4 a couple weeks ago. I cant play online against people at all. Not even in a party with my girlfriend. I also use my phone as a hotspot
Yup you can I jus did it and it fucking worked dude !! Just type in your IP address on google or whatever internet browser you have on your phone wnd then just go from there my brotha !! It also increased my download speed by 20 mbs and increased my upload by 5 mbs which might not sound like slot but it’s huge

Hey John I need help I reinstalled my system software because the ps4 was freezing and took a long time on loading screens with doing that everytime I turn off my game it returns me back to the set your ps4 screen I have to reselect my language etc. Then resign into play station network how do I fix this
Hi I’m on PS5 using an Xfinity router (the singular black box they give by default) I disabled my security entirely on the routers firewall via pc but I still can’t get to type 1 NAT? i was looking for DMZ options on pc but it sends me to the app and I didn’t see it anywhere on the app. I also reset a bunch of times between this to be sure. Any clue what I might be missing? I’m NAT type 2 currently and also was wondering if I turned off my wifi entirely would it make my ethernet cable connection more stable?
What is the diffrence with NAT types? What changes? Im confused on that
NAT type changes how open your connection is to the PSN. A more open connection allows you to find more users, and therefore a more optimal match, to join so that matchmaking yields the lowest ping and lag.
I had to uninstall game and it fixed it, thanks I’m sure this is a different video but I just wanted to say thanks
You have done these internet improvement videos alot, when will you have enough fast internet???
Hey John I got a question umm so my brother bought skyrim on the ps4 a long time ago and a few weeks ago i noticed I didn't have the game anymore so I went to the playstation store and there was only the vr version and the special edition and I remember there being a normal edition because I even once told my friend about it and I think they deleted but if that happened would my game be deleted too? I'm a bit stressed cause it is Skyrim pls respond if u can
Nat 1 is less secure for your Ps? what are the risks? or is not to worry about?
Dacosta I have never experienced any issues nor observed any instances of any problems with users who are running NAT Type 1
Dont dz your pc ip address cause someone could remote freely or "hacked" your pc. Interm of ps4.. since PS4 is more closed system, Only to play games. Doubt someone will hacked it.
I know it's 2 years ago but just because he says he's not heard any issues i have. My brother did this and 3 months later got hacked and all his banking was corrupted since most people have their bank card on ps4 to buy games, they also took all his games to. DO NOT DO THIS, ITS LIKE LEAVING YOU FRONT DOOR OPEN AND ANYONE CAN WALK IN. there's a reason ps4 is set up to NAT 2. Safety. And it makes no difference in gaming online, because the game itself has a safe port to put you in, NAT 1 does nothing. Find what the game runs on, and proceed there. This is very dangerous information you're giving out, how do we know how many friends you have ect. DONT TRY AND FIX WHAT ISNT BROKE IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's easy to run a cable threw you're home, he's obviously too lazy to do this. After all this that's what my brother did, and that in itself made his ps4 run faster.
I am nat 3 and I need more help with this video
What part do you need more help with?
@@JohnHammer I have nat3 and would love to have at least nat 2 on my ps4. I have a Hitron router. Can you help?
Can you login to your router from a web browser like I did in this video? Then you should be able to find the IP or MAC address of your PS4 under the connected devices list within your router settings. You should be able to open the NAT by selecting that specific device by editing its permissions while it's connected to your router.
@@JohnHammer I too the easy way out. $6 extra a month on my next bills lol
You probably know this is very dangerous. A better way to improve latency might running a DNS test on non cached websites and choosing the fastest most stable one. Switching to wired from wireless. Finally, opening up the ports that your games tend to favor.
Good points, and thank you for the feedback. The nice benefit of NAT Type 1 is that it can automatically open your system up to ports, which makes it much easier than figuring out the best ones manually via port forwarding.
cbone1982 Technically, since this is your WiFi, that would mean that you should remove any CC information from all devices, correct?
Wired controller is slower than a bluetooth controller.
Yo so glad u have u verse cause it was exactly as you described
If y'all got a ps4 that has 2ghz only you can bridge your PS4 with your pc or laptop and have way faster internet speed and lag free connection
Bs.
@@vazo_3851 really because im doing it rn look it up fool
When o try and open a game it takes a good 5 minutes too actually load, sometimes it doesn’t load at all then the game is soo buggy
Whenever I type in my ps4 IP address, it keeps telling me "unable to connect". How do I fix this?
Is there a way to do it with my cellphone? I play on PS4 using mobile data because I don't have an ISP where I live and when I connect through my phone's hotspot it always gives me NAT Type 3.
I can play ps3 no problems. I got a ps4 a couple weeks ago. I cant play online against people at all. Not even in a party with my girlfriend. I also use my phone as a hotspot
Yup you can I jus did it and it fucking worked dude !! Just type in your IP address on google or whatever internet browser you have on your phone wnd then just go from there my brotha !! It also increased my download speed by 20 mbs and increased my upload by 5 mbs which might not sound like slot but it’s huge
