At least I can connect now if I do this steps:

-Set 6112 port upnp unchecked and restart FAF
-Try to join a game, it will fail, so wait a few seconds and cancel
-Set a random port (like 5345) and enable upnp
-Until I don't close FAF I can join any game, after I close FAF I have to redo all steps

I've tried your method Moritz, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I somehow managed to play 1 or 2 games this time yesterday, but that might be because I changed the forwarded port on the router. Tried to connect to a few games just now and none of them let me in :(

I decided to make a fresh start, so I removed the port-forwarding I did and set FAF back to default game port settings. Then I redid the ports using http://www.portforward.com's guide for my Thomson TG872T router and used the port checker they provided. Included is a screenshot which contains the result of the port checker
Note: I had UDP selected for this screenshot, but I have also checked the port with TCP

Funny, yesterday I started FAF and it was set with a random port and upnp checked, I tried to join a game and it failed, after I just went to port options and changed it to 6112 and disabled upnp, I tried to join the same game and it worked, I tried another one and it worked too. I even dont have 6112 port forwared in my router anymore. :lol:
