How to disable "Create NAT on Tunnel" OVPN Client?

[MRizkBV]

I really need a short advice on how to do it, or just what to search for on Google. I am not sure where to start with. I have full control over the OpenVPN server (deployed on DigitalOcean).

The reason I want to do this is that I am using the VPN for gaming (Xbox One) and I think the router might be double NATing causing the Xbox to show NAT as Strict.

Note: I know how to disable it on the router, but it requires manual configuring for the VPN to work. I am not sure what kind of manual configuration is required so that I apply it server side.

Thanks in advance.

There's a setting at the end of "Basic Settings" in the interface when you're setting up an OpenVPN client called "Create NAT on tunnel", which you can set to "No".

Uhh... Yea, I know this part. Lol
I just meant that it requires manual configuring to actually work after disabling it, and I just can't find anywhere online what sort of manual configuration it requires so that I apply it server side >.<

By server side you mean you're doing something like this:

And you're hoping to be able to make some sort of interface change instead?

I think that's what I am looking for. I follow the steps though and just like usual no internet once I disable the "Create NAT on tunnel" :/

I guess the other option would be to try to do something about the NAT on the xbox side:

That seems to suggest that disabling "Instant ON" could help.
