For Battlefield on PC, please enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300
For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.
What kind of issue do you have with the game? Make sure that your PunkBuster is up to date as well as that your firewall/antivirus software is disabled if you run the game. Launch the BF4 application as /administrator.
Cheers

This seems to be incorrect information
On my PC install I have allowed both TCP and UPD ports mentioned. Every single time I try to connect to a server I get "You were disconnected from EA⚽" error.
As a test I allowed ports 1000 to 65000 on my firewall (TCP only). It works everytime I join servers.
I disable the rule allowing 1000 to 65000 and it fails again.
Of course I dont want to enable TCP 1000 to 65000 - might as well turn off and throw away my firewall. need specific ports allowed only.
So I started digging in the logs...the ports in use are all over the place....
Connection 1 - wanted TCP 4302 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
Connection 2 - wanted TCP 3141 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
Connection 3 - wanted TCP 62599 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
Connection 4 - wanted TCP 3438 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
Connection 5 - wanted TCP 4377 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
Connection 6 - wanted TCP 3881 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
Connection 7 - wanted TCP 62939 opened (it failed as I wasnt)
So whats the story guys? You need to reign in these ports required as clearly we dont wnat to open all the range up.
EA can you please reply and let me whats being done? If it comes down to compromising security I will opt for a refund unless EA mails a singed letter assuming all reponsabilty and liability.
I think the easiest will be to actually fix the issue.
looking forward to your reply on this issue.

The ports Bastian posted were correct. What log are you looking at?
To me it sounds like your router might be changing the ports when routing the signals between outside and inside the network.
