I removed all Seige allows and started game an firewall poped up to allow game trough, worked and seems other were messing up game connection.

Isn't your Router already stopping the BS out? If I want to use you a Firewall, know that I never use a Windows version. Plus, I use windows 7 and my HOSTS file is close to 1,5Mb. When windows 10(actually Windows 9,5) is needed, I just reboot and select by DUAL Boot what I want. Windows 10, prevent you to use and edit the HOSTS file as it uses other stuff to gain their control, That is why most of my edits comes from this: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ And VPN is nice to switch IP's very quick. Also check this out and not much needed to run this:: https://www.pfsense.org any 'gamer' should have one old PC laying around to use this; Minimum Hardware Requirements The minimum hardware requirements for pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 are: CPU 600 MHz or faster RAM 512 MB or more 4 GB or larger disk drive (SSD, HDD, etc) One or more compatible network interface cards Bootable USB drive or CD/DVD-ROM for initial installation Edited April 14, 2019 by X-RayXI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
