I think I can make proper tutorial for this

Thanks!

One more thing... Red Alert 3 use port 6667 only for chat room right?

I notice running 2 Red Alert 3 in same house (router/modem) cause connection conflict and only one player able to play. I wonder if everyone use same "6667 proxy", no conflict?

Not sure if there’s anything that can be done to be honest.
I’ve checked google, some other people posted the exact same issue about port 6667 being blocked in Malaysia for “safety” reasons.
Only your ISP can unblock it, port forwarding won’t do any good since they force the blockade.
It seems to be an issue for years in your country.

Unless ToxicShock has ideas to get around this blockade?
The only way I think is using an VPN server near your location to reduce latency.

Since I still using ADSL Broadband (DL:8mbps UP:512kbps) latency not that good, using VPN make things worst.

Another workaround, working: 3v3, chat, invite... (co-op not yet), using Proxifier software.

There are some Public SOCKS Proxy that work with port 6667

Public proxy server. You can find public proxy via Google, better get a SOCKS proxy since it able to tunnel UDP just in case, always use "Check" button to test connection.

Proxification Rules. Move port 6667 to SOCKS proxy, make sure "Default" rule name use "Direct" action. You wont let random pick proxy able to see your activity.

Test if proxy server allow 6667. Then, Connection is established.

I hope ToxicShock make an update that use alternate port

NOTE:
You can use any free proxy program like WideCap. Proxifier is paid version.

EDIT:
Add some information.

if you can create alternate port for 6667 to any, maybe we can try connect using "portproxy" like this?

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=6667 listenaddress=185.17.144.132 connectport=4380 connectaddress=DIFF ADDRESS

Ah... The infamous IRC port blockade.

You could try a VPN to see if that's able to bypass the IRC port blockade.

Should be able to find a few free VPNs through google, hopefully that'll solve the issue.

Yes, I tried VPN, but it make game unplayable, host cannot start the match.

However, I tried to redirect port 6667 to SSH Tunnel SOCKS5 proxy using Proxifier. but, it cost a VPS server...

If you can make port redirect for 6667? it help so much...
