Changing your NAT Type to Open can help with online gaming, server set ups, and device discovery, among other things.

Changing the NAT type from strict to open can improve network connectivity and reduce network-related issues when playing multiplayer games online.
You can change your NAT type on Windows by enabling Discovery Mode, UPnP, or port forwarding.
Port forwarding provides greater control over open ports and enhances security compared to UPnP, but it requires knowing the specific TCP and UDP ports used by your game.
