Hey guys what is up Stefan here today I want to do a quick tutorial on how to get around this error on your
0:15
PlayStation 4 or Xbox console that happens when you have set your net on
0:23
PFSense on a too strict level for the PlayStation or Xbox to communicate with
0:27
the internet so you are actually not able to play with your friends or a voice will not work or you
0:33
will have some connection problems and stuff the like so we are going to look into how to solve
0:40
this problem i came across this question several times on the internet already and i thought it's
0:45
finally time to do a video on it so i tried this with playstation 4 and i think in a friend's place
0:52
with this Xbox One or something like that. I have no really idea about the Xbox
0:57
but it worked either way in both cases. So let me quickly run you through the steps
1:02
on what you need to do to get it to work and to change the net type from 3 to 2 So you simply have to log into your pfSense firewall over your web browser go to firewall
1:18
go on net, don't wonder this is a freshly installed pfSense just for lab purposes so
1:24
there is nothing much going on here. Then you navigate to outbound, you want to set your outbound net mode to hybrid
1:33
I'm not sure it works with automatic outbound NAT as well, but I always, or almost always use hybrid outbound NAT
1:44
rule generation, which indicates that it's automatic outbound NAT plus the rules you set below
1:51
So that's what we want to do. So select that, click on save, click on apply changes
1:59
and now we can go ahead and create the rule. So go ahead here and click on add
2:05
Then we want to select our interface, which in this case is when this is correct Then we need a protocol which is any that also correct then we want to select a source which in this case is a network address
2:30
and there you want to put the IP address of your console so in my case for
2:38
example that would be whatever 112 whatever it got from the HCP of course you can give it a fixed
2:47
IP address and then you want to select 32 here which basically means it's only for this one IP
2:55
address and not for a whole range of addresses so only your this rule only applies really to your
3:03
to your Xbox or to your PlayStation console. Then as a destination, we want to also choose any
3:12
so leave it as it is. Then translation address, this is also fine
3:20
And very important is to make check mark here on static port Then you give it a description for example PS4 Xbox One or whatever the newest Xbox is
3:35
Nat, click on Save, click on Apply, now double check everything, WAN, Interface, the IP address of your console
3:48
source port any destination port any or destination any destination port any
3:53
net address is one address it's fine net port any and static port checked make
4:02
sure you saved everything and now you should be able to connect to the
4:08
internet with your console you should be able to use voice communication and
4:12
and everything should be working fine. Please let me know in the comments below if it worked for you
4:20
I would be really interested in that and I really hope this could help some of you
