Basically, I really love my Nintendo Switch and one of the coolest things is being able to play it on the go. With that in mind, I wanted to play Mario Kart (and eventually ARMS/Splatoon/Pokken) online via tethering to my phone, considering that LTE has more than enough bandwith for these games. I use Cricket as my carrier.
Sadly, as soon as I tried to matchup/connect with another player, I would get an error message saying it can't connect. Looking up my issue (and speaking to Cricket's CS about it), apparently, many cellphone carriers use Strict NAT, which is controlled by the carriers, and is wholly inadequate for peer-to-peer gaming (what online console games typically use).
My main question is if anyone here uses a cellphone carrier that uses Open NAT (thus allowing for peer-to-peer gaming). I might consider switching to one that does. Is there any other way to game online in a car or bus? Thanks.

Just connect to a VPN on your phone and you can have whatever ports open you want. Same as you could do on any restrictive network (public, campus, etc.). The bit of extra latency will hardly be noticeable over your normal 3G/4G ping.
