I opened up a DMZ server to my PS4 so I could get an open NAT type since port forwarding did not work for me. I'm not sure how long after I did that is when my connection messed up but I assume this happened immediately, but now all I can do is sign into PSN. When I load up a game such as BO2, the game grabs my IP just fine and my NAT is open, (for some reason it was always open on the PS3 but never the PS4), but the game never grabs my bandwidth amount and gives me some odd connectivity information (something like A.-.-.-.E.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-). This also happens on other games like GTA where it will simply say I'm signed out of PSN. I've tried disabling the DMZ server, I've tried directing it to my PS3's IP, I've tried resetting my router completely from the reset button on it and I've tried on a VPN, all to no avail. Could it possibly be something with my PS3? Any response helps

This is a known issue that has been happening for almost a week now and unfortunately the only method of fixing it by switching your DNS is no longer working so there's nothing that can be done about it until if/when it gets fixed. Just keep checking the R* server status page here: You must login or register to view this content.

Ah, okay, I thought this was only me somehow. Thank you very much.
