Recommend a mode for my game vs Choose manually

It shouldn't be asking this for a console - have you given the Xbox a different device type in the Device Manager?

Recommend will give you a list of services to choose from, manually will do it with a generic service but I would suggest manually in this case.

So are you saying that if for example I set “call of duty” it will allow only call of duty servers?
So in other words it means that it will allow only servers you whitelisted as known to you call of duty servers (that I can bet 10$ are the same servers ip you guys put in ping heat map), what if they change the ip of a server or add more servers and you don’t update? So what’s the reason of creating“recommend” ?

Recommended is primarily for PC where the requirements for each game can be different and where blocking/allowing too much on a PC could impact other functionality of your PC for example Skype/Discord/Torrents etc. 

It only determines how you're filtering, by what ports etc, it has no bearing on what IPs or servers are shown/blocked/allowed. For a console manual should always be used.

Good good so you might specify it maybe opening a parenthesis next to “manually” in the actual GUI maybe writing something like: Manually (recommended for consoles) 

because noobies like me and 99% of your users will put recommended thinking that helps more somehow with the game

That is a good point, although it should have added it automatically without giving you those options so we should try to resolve that. What device type does the console have in the Device Manager?
