Okay, I'm an older player who wants to dive back in to have fun with a friend, but my forest just refuses to connect. I've given it special firewall-permissions, I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled it a dozin times, I've let the game sit and waited for it to connect, but no matter what, it just can't reach the server.
All I ever see is the connection-status being stuck on "error" and briefly flickering to "connecting" once in a while. I'm at the end of my rope, and I just don't want to set up a proxy for this one game, it's getting so frustrating.

I'm on a wireless connection, I'm positioned in Denmark, I don't know what to do.

Please help me, Community-kenobi, you're my only hope!
