This sequence of events happens pretty much every time I join a game:
1. Enter game lobby.
2. Establish connection to various players. Ping is low and we can read each other's chat.
3. Ten seconds later, it says that I've connected to the player again, and ping shoots up to 800ms.
Step 3 is the FAF proxy ruining my life for no valid reason.
Log is attached. You can see me connect to HZH fine:
2014-06-14 11:00:32,079 INFO faf.fa.relayer Command transmitted from FA to server : {"action": "Connected", "chuncks": ["80707"]}
At this point I can see HZH in chat and my ping is low. Then a little later:
2014-06-14 11:00:41,818 INFO faf.fa.relayer Command received from server : {"commands": [7, "24.63.134.147", "HZH", 80707], "key": "ConnectToProxy"}
2014-06-14 11:00:41,944 INFO faf.fa.relayer Command transmitted from FA to server : {"action": "Disonnected", "chuncks": ["80707"]}
2014-06-14 11:00:43,410 INFO faf.fa.relayer Command transmitted from FA to server : {"action": "Connected", "chuncks": ["80707"]}
After this, my ping is 800ms. FAF has severed my perfectly fine p2p connection to HZH and replaced it with an unplayable proxy connection.
This makes FAF almost impossible for Australians in particular. We would really be better off if there was no proxy.

Bump.
This problem is a massive pain in the butt. It ruins many games/lobbies.
It seems like it would be so easy to fix. Just check whether there is already a direct connection before making the proxy connection.
There is even a pop up message saying that it costs money whenever we use the proxy. I imagine a large portion of the proxy connections are not needed. Everybody loses.

I think you have never been connected p2p with HZH. But i must admit that reading the logs is really hard. Perhaps it would be easier if there were a seperate log with easier to understand entries. Or a tool to convert the log to something more readable.

EDIT:
i think you have firewall issues. HZH was not the only one to connect through proxy. You had a total of 54 connections attempts and from that 38 turned to proxy connections.

If it happens again post the game.log as well as fa. Normally with this kind of thing need everyone who is involved logs as well. I saw this happen to me a week or so ago as well, so not just you.

But we can see each other's chat in the lobby before the proxy connection is made.

Yes, but you can see that I generally have a direct connection first, and then that direct connection is later broken so that the proxy can connect. I just chose HZH as a specific example.

Ok, but will there be a game.log if I don't launch the game? I'm pretty sure this happens pretty much every lobby.
Thanks for looking into it.

You need to enable logs for the game log. game.log will be rewritten every time that fa launches so that includes only the lobby.
If you are going to ask how to enable it. Read the red text again

This is causing issues to most Aussies at times. Around about 6 or so weeks ago there was a change, "for the better". Nothing wrong with connections, however the proxy decides we should use it. Happens more frequently when there a few Aussies and a few EUs in the game.
This is so frustrating.
Please ZEP we have our connections sorted out, please, please either put in a menu option for Proxy on or off, or at least increase the timer, or go back to the old code. I beg you.
Happy to attempt a crack at fixing the code...we have a bunch of professional developers playing FAF in Australia.
Thanks

faf is open source, so if you want to try to help fix it that would be great. This might help you get started.

Does that include the proxy code?

I am not sure. The initial connection and then whatever is calling the proxy should be there though ... i think.
