Mahziel, instead of spreading FUD, why don't you go and read up on how networks really work instead? Port scanners might work if your connection to your ISP is via a static IP; [b]and[/b] if your ISPs firewall somehow let the port scanner through. They wouldn't work at all if you're getting a dynamic IP from your ISP. Don't understand why that is the case? Read up on it. You want to talk about compromised security? How about the fact that both Microsoft and Sony in their online and printed documentation [b]RECOMMEND[/b] users enable UPnP to solve networking issues? Do a Google search. There are people out there who even recommend setting up a DMZ to solve this problem. There are literally thousands of posts and hundreds of YouTube videos that walk you through this. My temporary fix is far from the disaster you so vividly paint above. But the plain fact is most individuals don't get their data stolen by pure network hacks to their own equipment. It takes about as much work to hack one user as it does to crack the security of an institution like a credit card company, a retailer or a bank. Even if that weren't the case, where do you suppose these hackers are going to put their time and effort for the bigger payoff? On your home network, or on the networks of these institutions or companies? Mass leaks of private data only ever comes from compromised databases of institutions or companies that collect this consumer data. Individuals, on the other hand, get their data stolen by their own mistakes. They fall for things like phishing attacks, or they browse unsafe websites that load malware and trojans into their browsers and then onto their systems. They download stuff off the internet without considering how unsafe these downloads might be. You could have your firewall running on your router and on your computer, not have any open ports at all (because you don't game), and have UPnP and DMZ disabled and [b]STILL[/b] get infected or compromise your own security. Don't understand why? That's because HTTP requires port 80 in your router to always be open in order to access the internet, even if the firewall is on. Everyone has access to email, even if the firewall is on. That's why you should have antivirus and anti-malware software on your computer, and have the good sense not to fill out your private data from an email with an embedded link telling you your security has been compromised. Yes, agreed, turning off your firewall in your router is not ideal, but it is so FAR AWAY from the scenario you describe above as to be laughable. Your console, be it Xbox or Playstation, connects through a unique online gaming service. And while Microsoft's and Sony's websites have been hacked and data stolen, this has never happened on their game networks. Why? Because there is no user data stored on them. They're there only to facilitate online gaming. Your console is safer being connected to XBL or PSN than your PC is to the internet by far. No console has ever been remotely hacked connected to their respective gaming service, with or without firewall disabled. My suggestion as a fix stands. It works and it is a temporary solution for people who want to play Destiny. And [b]THAT[/b] is the topic of this thread. Compromising your own security has absolutely nothing to do with the state of your router's firewall. Please go sow your fear, uncertainty, doubt, discord or whatever else on another thread.

Check this [url=http://www.portforward.com]link[/url]. Find your router in the list and see how to turn off the firewall.

i can WOW with my wifi, and that game is crap loads bigger than this. it shouldn't have a problem, and ya most people have other devices hooked up directly to there modem, u expect people to disconect everythign and have only there xbox one pluged in??? ya call me a complainer, but its just down right ridiculous what your guy's suggestions are. people pay money for your crap, so fix it. dont just slap duct tape on it.

A good resource to use is [url=http://www.portforward.com]Portforward.com[/url]. If you're having problems, you can first start by disabling your router's firewall to see if that solves your connectivity issues. Still not working? Next, set your Xbox or Playstation to get an IP/DNS address from your network automatically and enable UPnP on your router - also enable UPnP in your PS3/PS4 as well if that's what you're using. If you can connect and play, then that means the issue was your hardware configuration. Find your router on Portforward.com and follow their step by step instructions on how to cofigure port forwarding. You will need to make sure you forward all the ports required by Xbox Live or PSN (depending on which service you use) and also those required by Destiny. You can find this information using the (?) Help link in the left sidebar right under Forums. Make sure you turn UPnP off and use port forwarding instead for a more secure connection to the internet. If you still can't play, then it means that there is a possible problem with your ISPs broadband modem setup or in how they are filtering P2P traffic. At this point, you'd have to call your ISP for help to resolve this issue.

Cannot Connect to Fireteam with my roommate. Purchased the Destiny edition PS4 so we could both play together as the game is Designed to be played, and I can't even play with them. Both Open NAT, both can connect to ANYONE else.

Sorry to hear that. And I agree that Bungie just needs to fix the sensitivity that Destiny exhibits, even if it means compromising the 30fps target. Having a stable game connection for everyone has to be more important than that.
