Mass Effect Multiplayer: Invite and Join Options Having Issues.

Hello. For a few month now, starting this summer, I've often been having trouble joining other people in Mass Effect multiplayer. If my friends create a lobby and invite me, I'm stack at "Connecting".If I just search for a quick game, no game is found (even if my friends create an open lobby at the same time). Sometimes the game is found, but I'm again stuck at " Connecting". If I create a lobby myself and invite my friends, it's them who are stuck at "Connecting".Oddly, sometimes other random players join my open lobby. 
I've tried reinstalling game, reinstalling EA app, doing clean start of a system, clearing caches of game and EA app. Nothing seems to work. Sometimes I'm able to join, and my friends can join me, but it only lasts a couple of days and seems random. 
Two of my friends also have this problem. All of us are from different cities and use different internet providers.

    @captainstuds This issis on the Bioware side was resolved but the issue itself was also affecting the EA app side on the friends list as well. That should be resolved. The other issues were security, region, private profiles, etc. If you are friends on the EA app, you need to unfriend and refriend each other. Make sure that your profiles are not blocked, or private. Also, make sure no one is using a VPN, as that has also caused issues.
