Just a quick advice, as I struggled with this as my daughter complained that she could not join network games in Animal Crossing because she had only “NAT Type D”.

Forwarding all these ports was the recommended solution in Nintendo’s docs. However, it did nothing to resolve this problem. What helped was to ensure not to modify source ports in the NAT setup (“static-port” in pf).

When i use routers provided by my ISP the switches always just work. when i was running pfsense (i need to set it up again soon :) ).. I just had to set a rule for them to always get the same IP and the correct NAT type and it worked perfectly.

It does make me wonder if all ISP provided routers are pretty insecure in some way?
