I tried a different things at once so i cant 100% confirm this but on the main firewall page it allows you to set a port for Pinhole timeout, so i put afo's udp in and and i think that did the trick.

Hi all, I was wondering if you guys can help me with this issue.
When I try to connect to Alien Front Online I have some sort of weird disconnection.
I get to the dial up screen and it says that I am connected to the internet (With the 3360 baud sign). Then, when I get to the lobby, it pulls this message "Collecting Game Information...". The message stays on and after a while, I get disconnected from the game.

Another example is when I am trying to use planetweb. I get on the main screen and click the red telephone. After a while a message says that the modems are connected. The red telephone turns into green. Then, I go to click on the google sign and it can never load the website up.

I would extremely appreciate it if someone can help me resolve this issue.

I already did. It does not solve the problem though. I think it simply has to do with the range of the WiFi signal of the raspberry pi 3.

The reason I say this is because as soon as I went back to using Ethernet, the problem goes away.

I can't believe how much the WiFi range of the raspberry pi 3 sucks.
