As some already know lowering ones MTU setting [PS4 at least] will allow players to load into public lobbies solo. The "maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest network layer protocol data unit that can be communicated in a single network transaction." Most players who attempt to join your lobby won't hold a connection due to the discrepancy in values.
With that in mind I though if multiple people shared the same MTU they could hold a stable connection and avoid random players from joining. Me and two other members changed our MTU from 1500 [default number] to 900 and went into a session amongst ourselves [all visible online]. The first 2-3 players who joined instantly left. After that the only few who did join were friends of ours. We made a second session while appearing offline with 900 MTU again. No one joined during the hour or so we were there.
I'd like to test this on a larger scale with the community. 10 people at least would be ideal. 900 MTU and appearing offline after joining the lobby.
To change MTU: Home Button>Settings>Network>Set Up Internet Connection>Use WiFi/a LAN Cable>Custom>Manual>Next>Manual>900 [or whichever number we agree upon during our tests]
