One of the most common factors that can impact your earnings is having a Strict NAT.

Fortunately, you can change the NAT status using a few solutions outlined below:

Solution 1 - Enable Universal Plug and Play Method

The first possible solution to solve your network configuration issues and start earning is to enable your UPnP (Universal Plug and Play):

Enter the IP address to your browser (as if you were trying to open a website);

1. Find your router’s default IP address;
2. Enter the IP address to your browser (as if you were trying to open a website);
3. Go to your router’s advanced settings;
4. Enable UPnP;
5. Save settings.

👉 Note that the instructions vary depending on the model of your router, however, in most cases, UPnP is under Advanced settings of your router’s configuration page.
