OK, so I use my Ubuntu laptop as a WiFi hotspot for the PS4 to connect to the internet. I had to use VPN (because our crappy telecom is a government owned monopoly, many blocked sites, etc.), which works fine. Problem is, NAT type fails during connection test and so I cannot play games like Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne online, although I can connect to and download stuff from the PSN. I did some online search and discovered that I have to assign a static ip address and do some port forwarding. My question is, how do I do port forwarding on my computer (which I assume has sort of taken the role of router here)? I believe that this can be solved, just need a little technical help. Networking was never my strong suit :-).

You will need to add iptables rules to the forward table in your ubuntu installation. Here is a NAT HOWTO on iptables.
