[Tutorial]How to change your NAT-Config/ ALL ports R6S needs/Not being able to play with friends?/ How to get a better Ping

By ALFONS HORSTHOFER

Many People have the following Problems:
1. Not being able to join a Friends Lobby
2. Having a bad Ping
3. Not finding all correct Ports r6siege needs(The official Support page doesn't contain all of them)

These Problems can all be caused by having a strict or moderate NAT-Type, however, if you have an "open" Nat-Type but still have a high Ping you should try using a VPN to force R6S to connect to different Countries, this sadly doesn't help if you just have a bad internet-connection.

How to find your current NAT -Type

But FIRST: Check here [support.ubi.com] for any server side problems. Often the Problems are caused by the Ubisoft-Servers themselves.
For example:

If you see this on the site that I mentioned above you may not have any problems with your connection.

Just press F10 in the Main-menu or click the symbol in the upper-right corner. Now you should see your current NAT-Type(Remember, this guide will only help you if your NAT-Typ is “strict” or “moderate” but NOT if it is “open”)

1. The Easy One(Only possible if you have the new IP6)

Just enabling UPNP should allow R6Siege to open the Ports by itself(automatic)

You can find tutorials for your Router online.

2. The other one(Only possible if you dont have IP6)

You will need to do all the work by yourself, but don't worry it isn't that hard.
You simply have to forward the following Ports by yourself:(All ports have been tested-10.6.2017)

TCP 443 to 443
TCP 14000 to 14000
UDP 6015 to 6015

You can find a basic tutorial here [www.howtogeek.com]

If I could help you with this a rating would be appreciated!

@Alpha You could try to enter the Ports like This: " *startport*-*endport* "
