Hello all, i am currently on the 4g smart hub mobile broadband since i cannot get any fixed broadband where i live currently.
I am looking to game on a certain game but are running in to a few issues. There's this game called FiveM which is basically a client where you can play modded GTA 5 servers with other people. You connect to a server hosted by someone and everyone else connects to that server.
my problem is that i cannot connect to these servers, they use port 30120 and 30110 both UDP and TCP, i have opened these ports on my 4g hub but every time i join the server or a server on FiveM, after joining it then times out and disconnects me. I can play games like GTA 5 without FiveM which uses p2p fine, i can play overwatch 2 fine, but i cannot play any FiveM servers without using a VPN with insane latency/ping and dropping/slow connections or without using my limited data mobile hotspot on giffgaff from my phone.
I've opened ports on my 4g hub, pc firewall and all of that stuff, however, i hear that ee may use a CGNAT which stops incoming connections and may be the reason i cannot connect to these FiveM servers which also makes the idea of the port forwarding option on the hub irrelevant unless on the same internal network?? i also hear it may have something to do with shared ip addresses and not having a static public IP address which you can request but not sure if ee does this or if it would even solve my problems.
Fixed broadband is simply not an option currently, and other options like setting up a tunnel on a VPS are too complicated for me and require more money! Please help 😞
