Hi folks.
I've just joined this forum. I hope you're all well.
I'm currently with Vodafone and have been going round in circles with them for a couple of months about unblocking ports 9295-9307 to that I can use PSLink from outside of my home. I got a static IP and port forwarded them in my router but they continued to be blocked, despite Vodafone tech support insisting that they don't block any ports.
Eventually Vodafone agreed to move me out of contract so that I can find an ISP that will let me do this.
So, I'm asking, does anyone use PSLink with IDNet, or know if it is possible to port forward those ports to my PS5's internal IP address? I've contacted IDNet and they said "we do not block any ports on our network", but that is exactly what Vodafone said.
I just need to make sure that I'm not going to be in the exact same position that I'm in now with Vodafone but on a new contract.
Any feedback is very appreciated.
Have fun,
EpicPotato

I'm afraid I can't answer your specific question as I don't use PSLink, but for the purposes of elimination, are you certain that this isn't a router configuration issue?
Hopefully someone with more knowledge of this will be around soon.
Hi Simon,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I'm fairly certain that it's at Vodafone's end. After seeing that the ports were still blocked after port forwarding all of the ports (for both TCP and UDP), I enabled DMZ to the PS5's IP address and they were still blocked. I'm no expert on DMZ but as far as I was aware, DMZ should just allow all traffic through to the specified IP address and ignore any firewall rules, but they were still blocked.
As far as I know IDNet doesn't block any ports on either IPv4 or IPv6.
Is Vodafone putting your connection behind CGNAT perhaps?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that they use CGNAT.
