Okay, so every other computer in my household can connect to game servers except for my gaming / rendering rig. It was fine and now all of a sudden it will not connect to games. It can connect to GTA 5 Online and Battlefield 4 Online but basically nothing else. I'm running with BT internet, tried to contact them but they literally are useless as they say its my problem. (Probably is). The weird thing is, I can connect to all the servers from connecting through a Cyber Ghost VPN. Yet on my other computers in the household, It doesn't require a VPN. They're fine. I checked my ports online and it says they're blocked. I tried port forwarding through BT Home Hub 5, still wont work. So I'm confused as hell. As I'd like to try and play something else. I've tried the netsh resets and the winsock resets, tried setting the DNS settings as 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 and so on. I've reset my hub to change the end of the IP, still wont work. The only thing that has worked was a VPN. But it makes no sense to my other PCs. I've disabled the firewalls, still wont work. It's one big kerfuffle.

AVG, but it ran out so it pops up everytime I start my PC, I just put Iobit Malware Fighter on it. And there hasn't been except for last night and about a week ago when I plugged in a 2nd monitor and had a PC crash. But its fine now. I was thinking about upgrading to Windows 10 free from windows 7 to see if it would fix anything.
