    You want to change it ?

    I don't have a device that describes the functions in this manner, so had to go find out what 'strict' means .... still not sure as
    But the terminology really is nebulous.

    To quote from that link I posted
    In open NAT, any machine on the internet can send traffic to your router's port 21283, and the packet will be sent back to you:

    Although it is a bit ambiguous to me, it really seems to be describing a 'Port Forward' setting in the firewall.

    Can you port forward the port you want to be open to whatever device you have that has a server running on it?

    Looks like an XBox port (21283)
    Try turning on Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) and re-test
