I’ve been playing IW MP for a bit now and have recently run into hackers that leak IPs. Due to this i’ve decided to get a VPN (Proton VPN, free version), but when i try to play IW with it active it puts my NAT Type to Strict. Any ideas on how to fix it? I already tried this, but it didn’t work.
do you have proof of your IP being leaked?
why would one even try leaking your IP?
additionally, why care if your IP was leaked?
lastly, using a VPN has no ability to manage ports. IW is a P2P game, alike many other games.

Didn’t screenshot it, but can next time.

Script Kiddies who didn’t get enough attention as children
additionally, why care if your IP was leaked?
IPs are traceable to a physical location

elaborate
Also thank you for not answering my question
IP’s are not traceable to physical/address location. It only gives an estimate to your state/city, but never the address to where you stay.
The only way people can figure out where you stay is by them doing research based on your personal information (Real Name).
And I did answer your question. You cannot open NAT/Ports on a VPN for P2P. You cannot “fix” this for a VPN, unless you can find a VPN that allows you too open specific ports, like Mullvad
You cannot “fix” this for a VPN
lead with that next time
What’s with the hostility? I made it clear that “VPN’s has no ability to manage ports”, at-least not free ones. After a bit of research, Mullvad I found allows you to expose ports, but I don’t know if you’re able to expose specific ports that’s not random.
Surely you can buy your own VPS and setup your own VPN, but back to my other questions what’s the point?
Scared of kids thinking they can do something bad to you lol. The only harm they can do is DDoS which I doubt would ever happen for no reason, unless you’re being a coward (i can tell you’re based on your replies), you’ll deserve what comes to you.
Enjoy the rest of your day, and maybe seek anger management help.
