Hi,
Now that I work from home, I don't have a standard ISP router.
Instead, I have a modem and a corporate firewall in order to protect my company's operations.
I would not use uPNP, even if it was supported by the firewall.
My sons both own Xbox Ones and PCs. (4 devices in total.) They have bought Destiny for both formats.
I have created a Games group on my firewall which contains the IP addresses of all 4 of their devices.
I have created a Destiny Service which contains all of the ports required for both formats.
I have created a firewall rule which allows traffic through the Destiny service to the Games group.
This works, but it leaves these four devices exposed on all of the open ports to the whole of the internet, which is fine for testing, but not a practical solution and is currently disabled.
The firewall rule will allow me to specify the source from which this traffic will come.
The source can be either IP addresses or server URLs / domain names.
Could Bungie please provide a list or range of IP addresses or specify the domains used to host their game servers?
I am expecting bungie.net, but are there any other domain names used by servers that should also be listed?
This information is important for keeping a secure network.
Please reply to my Bungie account email address.
My sons are hoping for your quick, positive response.
Kind regards.

The only information available regarding how to set up your network is listed here: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049496751-Advanced-Troubleshooting-UPnP-Port-Forwarding-and-NAT-Types Bungie, as any other gaming company, has multiple partners around the world that provide hosting services for their games, so it's nearly impossible to provide a list of IPs. Specifically Destiny uses a hybrid approach to it's network architecture, with both dedicated game servers and p2p connections to other players through Valve's [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay]Steam Datagram Relay[/url], as a way to secure our information and protect against DDoS attacks and IP sharing. If the device your company provided is capable of running UPNP/IGD version 2, it has a safe mode that opens and closes connections as needed and only to the device that has requested them, instead of keeping the table open until a flush of the port forwarding table.

you will not get a satisfactory reply to this as bungie uses hybrid p2p connections. not only are you connecting to bungie servers you are also connecting to the players in your instance. bungie servers do not host, we do.
