CS:GO (Online game) Packet loss issue

DevSomething · July 2022

Hi I am experiencing an issue with Bit Defenders Firewall - When I play CS:GO Online (FPS Game) I am experiencing a huge amount of packet loss. Packets send from the server are being blocked and it is causing the game play to be unbearable.

I have created a rule for this application and allowed everything but i am still losing about 20% of my packets when i connect to valve severs. As a work around I have added rules for valve IP's but this is a terrible work around because i need to know all the valve IPs and if they change I am screwed. Another issue is you dont know the IP you are connecting to, until after the game. How can i fix this?

EG:

Primary router: syd#99 (103.10.125.154:27021) Ping = 14+0=14 (front+back=total)
