Apex Legends Connection to server timed out - PC

I've been playing Apex since the 2nd day of release and never had any problems. About two weeks ago I started to disconnect in middle of games. I get a "Connection to server timed out" error and thought it was initially on EA's end since it just randomly started happening. I started even getting the same error by just sitting in the lobby myself. I tried changing servers via the data center in game and that didn't seem to work either. Per a friends suggestion, I looked into port forwarding to maybe fix the issue but could not figure it out due to my router settings being somewhat different than every other router in existence. I have the list of ports that I need for Apex and believe that I can get this issue to work but there is a spot labeled "Local Port" and I'm not sure what to put there. A website suggested that I leave "local port" blank but that's not an option for these settings. Attached below is a snipping of the port forwarding menu for my router. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    HORRIBLE SUPPORT

  • I'm having the same issues right now and feel so desperate because I'm the only one in my friends' apex group who has issues. It's so * depressing

  • @eddy12546 I solved this problem by using ExitLag software(Gaming vpn). It seems that my country's ISP is blocking some of EA ports which results in connection problem every now and then.
