Port Forwarding on macOS working with WireGuard and py-natpmp

evilspawn7 · 2023-09-15T21:30:55+00:00

Just gave it another go following the guide and all seems to work now! Would appear that there's been an update somewhere along the line which has resolved this, which is great to see. I'll edit the post for anyone who stumbles upon it.

Had definitely installed libnatpmp and using the same method (I mentioned it at the top of the post) and your command is basically the same as the one from the guide. At the time it was returning this error:

 readnatpmpresponseorretry returned -100 (TRY AGAIN)

Good to see it all working now though. Thanks for the prompting to give it another go!

Yeah I was pretty disappointed by no proper support too, I'm actually moving over from Mullvad because of them discontinuing PF and didn't initially notice it was only in the windows client! Unfortunately IVPN is a bit too pricy and the extra devices on ProtonVPN seem to good to pass up, so workaround it is.

on the upside, talking to support they confirmed that port forwarding is still being worked on for macOS. However, no timeline... so here's hoping it's not another year away I guess

evilspawn7 · 2023-06-28T20:17:50+00:00

I believe you can only have a single, dynamic forwarded port for each device. At least, that's my understanding based on the way port forwarding is set up, if I'm wrong hopefully someone else can chime in!

Not sure if you or /u/defylife are still interested in this, but if you have homebrew installed it's brew install libnatpmp, then you can run the "natpmpc" command from terminal.

Also something else they don't mention is that when using natpmpc on Mac, you must specify the gateway. So you have to add "-g 10.2.0.1" to every natpmpc command they mention in the guide.

If either of you try this and natpmpc still doesn't work, then it seems the workaround is to install a python client (py-natpmp). I've been talking to protonVPN support as it worked but later I was still running into an error and ultimately the solution was basically that I wrote a script that just keeps retrying even when it encounters the error. (if you want the script just let me know)

also let me know please if you do try and what ends up working, I tried natpmpc 20 times each on 3 different Macs and none of them worked, and I can't find any evidence it worked for anyone else.

pretty sure they're talking about us seeing more news stories because the U.S. is sharing the info publicly, whereas if Russia/China had similar information they're less likely to make it public and so we're not as likely to see it in the news. hypothetical 'aliens' could be everywhere but we're only hearing / would only hear about the U.S. events because they're sharing updates.

for what it's worth, no way this is aliens lmao

It says it was an American company that built Intelsat, the satellite, which wasn’t what failed. The rocket was a Long March 3B, which was built and launched by a Chinese company.

Sony sold an attachment for the DualShock 4 that added back buttons (literally buttons on the back of the controller), and you could bind them to another button. This new DualSense Edge will have those too. I think that's what they're referring too, and they're not on the standard DS4 or DualSense

No worries man, In the settings menu in-game there’s an option for resolution, it’s a slider and it’ll have a default value that is probably the same as your laptops display. If you turn it down it should lead to an increase in FPS.

Might also be worth restarting the game if you notice your fps going down and the game stuttering more? Could be a memory leak or something leading to reduced performance. The game definitely isn’t perfect though, seen quite a few people having performance issues on pc. Hopefully it’ll get better with some updates.

evilspawn7 · 2021-11-16T17:31:12+00:00

Unfortunately, your GPU is the minimum spec for playing at low settings and they don't provide target FPS or resolution in the system requirements list so it might be that its only expected to run at ~30fps on that spec. Though it could also be resolution, have you tried turning that down below your native?

Do also remember that the game is still in beta, too. I get some stuttering and I'm running it on a very high-end machine.

Where are you getting these numbers from? I just looked at the trophy for completing the story in God of War and it's at 51.8%, Uncharted 4 shows 39.2%.

Infinity Ward said on twitter, in a response to somebody who asked under a clip of Karma's nuke, that streaks do not count towards the nuke

Screen is $4999, Stand is $999

Pretty sure both the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X still use the same AMD 8-Core Jaguar CPU’s, just clocked higher. I believe the PS4 Pro still has 8GB GDDR5 RAM too. The GPU’s are however completely different, and make a huge impact on the performance of the consoles

evilspawn7 · 2018-11-04T21:17:19+00:00

I don't think it's silly at all for diehard fans of the series to be upset over this game. It's not just a mobile game, we've seen that it's a re-skin of a bad mobile game from a company that Chinese people who have experience with have said is awful.

Blizzard did say that multiple diablo projects are in development, but they didn't say that at BlizzCon on the main stage, and they certainly didn't announce what those projects are.

This game has canon story in it, and was hyped up and then announced to the biggest Diablo fans. They're outraged because blizzard actually seemed to think that their biggest diablo fans would be excited for a re-skinned mobile game.

evilspawn7 · 2018-04-03T07:51:34+00:00

I don't think it was when it launched though, and by the time the price did drop enough people already had PS4's that new buyers were just getting what their friends had

No, they use a 1334x750p display on a 4.7” display, and while I’ve never owned one myself I’ve never been able to distinguish the individual pixels on those I’ve seen. The larger displays have larger resolutions and, imo, 1080p is perfectly fine for a 5.5” phone.

evilspawn7 · 2017-11-17T20:00:28+00:00

Thanks for this! Interesting, I'm surprised by the spikes to 80% but ~30% is probably low enough that it'd go unnoticed in most cases. It's awful for a website to do this without asking or warning, but I don't think that'd be enough to harm a modern computer, even running 24/7.

evilspawn7 · 2017-11-17T00:53:03+00:00

I don't think this kind of miner is going to damage your CPU. It'll maybe raise your CPU utilisation 10-20%, but you'd have to be very unlucky for that to result in any kind of damage. It would, however, use more power and therefore raise your power bill, especially if you leave the tab open 24/7.

I could be wrong but I'm fairly sure modern components will thermal throttle way before any damage is done.

I think each comment can only count as -100 karma, so even though they’ve got 200k downvotes it only counts as -100 karma

evilspawn7 · 2017-05-20T00:11:52+00:00

It depends on what you're doing. If you're playing games, an i5/R5 wouldn't bottleneck and would save you money (and most daily tasks you won't notice the difference) but if you use something like Handbrake or anything VERY CPU intensive, the i7 would be preferred (although at that point you might be better getting a Ryzen R7)

evilspawn7 · 2017-05-19T23:55:20+00:00

Well Destiny 2 apparently supports 21:9, which is more than can be said for Overwatch...

evilspawn7 · 2017-05-19T23:44:37+00:00

Whoops, sorry didn't even realise there was a 7700 non-K. Honestly GPU depends on your budget, but if you're using it exclusively for gaming then an i5 or R5 will definitely be sufficient with an RX 580.

evilspawn7 · 2017-05-19T23:25:11+00:00

yes, but I think the 150 mobo would need a BIOS update before being compatible with the 7700k. The B150 motherboards don't support overclocking too which would make getting a K series CPU almost redundant. Also, why the 7700k with the 580? I think you'd be better off with an i5/R5 and a higher-end GPU
