Connection to server timeout error

I wouldn't expect much help. I've had this issue since BF4 and have still never found a solution.

Makes it even worse now that the bonus XP counts down in real time.

Hi OskooI_007, I've installed my VPN and everything is working now, but I'd like to understand why I now need to use a VPN to connect?
Thanks for your help!

Greetings BabyFarqs, using a VPN as mentioned in the comment Oskool_007 seems to solve this problem, it's up to you!

F48i3N​ the connection issue can be caused by multiple things.

1 For testing purposes. Try disabling the Windows firewall and see if that helps. Make sure to turn Windows firewall back on.

2 Log into your home router and put the PC's IP address in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). This will open all the router's ports for the PC. Make sure to remove the PC from the DMZ after testing.

3 Unplug the power cords from PC, router, and internet modem for 2 minutes. Then plug them back in and see if that fixes anything.

4 Maybe your ISP uses carrier grade network address translation (CGNAT) and is sharing your public IP address with other customers. If your WAN/Public IP address in router settings is different than whatismyip.com . Then your ISP is using (CGNAT).

Hi Oskool_007, no, it still doesn't work with the DMZ configured in my router settings!

On WhatIsMyIP.com my IP address is different from the one in my router

F48i3N​ are you sure you're looking at the WAN/Public IP address for the router? Not the PC's IP address.

You can personal message me a picture of the router settings if you're not sure.

If the IP addresses are different then you'll need to contact your ISP and ask them for a public IPv4 address that isn't shared with anyone else.

Yes OskooI_007​ , I'm quite sure I'm checking the router's IP address because on my devices the addresses all start with 192.168.50.xxx and on my router
