Sorry I forgot to also mention, I always have a strict NAT on my gaming PC, really restricts my ping potential as I have around a 70mbps speed. Is there a way using my Surfshark VPN that I can get my NAT type to moderate?

 

Would be an absolute life saver.

Regards,

Jack

Hi mate, trying the VPNS now I’m based in Scotland so I’m using the Glasgow VPN and also tried a French one to see if a different nation would work but my PING is still in the high 90’s which isn’t ideal!

 

any suggestions? Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Regards,

Jack

Hi Dean,

I've read through so many of these topics and different pages past week or so but I still can't get the nat type to change.

I am using a PS5 and a 4gEE router as that is all I can get in my property and area, can you dumb this down for me what I need to do.

Do I need a different router, laptop access, what exactly should I be doing as otherwise I'm just going to have to cancel the contract as I wasn't told this would be a problem despite making it clear this was one of the reasons for the router in the first place.

 

Thanks in advance
