Double NAT on Xbox while using a VPN

[Primed]

Hi, I just received my XR450 today.

Right out of the gate I ran into a problem that I've never had before with my previous "shared connection" VPN setup.

I successfully set up my VPN (NordVPN) through the Hybrid VPN feature. I then selected my Xbox One as the only device that goes through the VPN, as I have problems with people DoSing me on COD.

I rebooted everything.

The external IP on my Xbox did indeed change, but with a little problem. I now have "Double NAT detected" in my network settings and have no idea how to fix it. Keep in mind that this ONLY happens with the VPN on.

I've heard that some VPN providers use NAT on their end as well and it can cause this.

Is there any solution on my end, or do I need to just get a new VPN provider that doesn't use NAT? I'm open to any advice OR knowledge.

Hey, welcome to the forum!

As far as I am aware this will be down to the VPN and the particular port/NAT settings they're using. Perhaps a specific gaming VPN may resolve this issue.
