It acts as a kind of intermediary system between internal home networks and the wider internet. Therefore there needs to be some kind of additional protocol that allows public IP addresses to be translated into private range IP addresses within homes, and this is the function of NAT. NAT stands for Network Address Translation and exists because in the modern world there are not enough unique IP addresses under the IPv4 protocol to cover every single device on the planet.
Let’s look at the entire process of NAT types, DMZ and connection issues in more detail. Placing your console in the DMZ section of your router should automatically move it to NAT Type 1, or Open NAT, which offers the most unrestricted access to the internet and other gamers, hopefully resolving any connectivity issues which occur when on stricter NAT Types.

The easiest and most common fix for being on the wrong NAT Type is to use DMZ settings to apply full port forwarding to your PS4 and fully open it up to the internet for the best possible connection to other gamers and game servers. This is a common problem for PS4 gamers, where they find themselves stuck on NAT Type 2 or 3, with 3 being the most problematic.īeing on NAT 3 or Strict NAT, can cause a host of connection issues, including being kicked from lobbies, party chat issues, and generally a poor connection.
