Windows 10: Change NAT Type in Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot

I want to connect my Nintendo Switch to the internet using the mobile hotspot on my Windows 10 PC. However, there seems to be a problem with the NAT connection, I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up a VPN. Is there a way to change the hotspot settings? Thanks!
