NicatorTheBird it appears your ISP is using Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT). This means your ISP is forcing you to share your public IPv4 address with multiple other internet subscribers.
The end result of this is your ISP is blocking incoming connections from the internet to your computer. Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) is like having a second router that's blocking incoming connections from reaching your home router.
IP 100.79.127.254 in your traceroute is the Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) router on your ISP's network that's blocking the incoming connections from reaching your home router at IP 192.168.0.1 .
A quick and easy fix is to use a VPN to tunnel through your ISP's Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) router. Cloudflare Warp is a free VPN you can try.
I'd call up your ISP and request a dedicated IPv4 address, instead of a shared IPv4.
If your ISP can't honor the request for a dedicated IPv4 address. Ask them if they support IPv6. If they do then setup a home router that supports IPv6.
I'm not sure if IPv6 will solve your BF6 connection issues but since your ISP uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) for IPv4 it's worth avoiding IPv4 as much as possible. Hopefully IPv6 doesn't use Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT).
The main reason Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) exists is because there's not a lot of IPv4 addresses. There's a bunch of IPv6 addresses so there should be no need to share IPv6 addresses using Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT).
Here's an article explaining Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT). It talks about possibly using UPnP, PCP (RFC6887) and STUN (RFC3489) to forward connections through Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT). I'm still learning about these forwarding protocols so I can't advise you if it's possible to use them on your ISP or not.
