We have VoIP and video systems that work fine through multiple layers of PAT and NAT. Why do we still have gaming consoles, in 2020, that can’t find their way through a PAT system with STUN or other methods?
It seems like this should be a simple solution, why are we still opening ports or having systems that don’t work?
