Issues with network links
Hello, I'm experiencing an issue for a while now, but it wasn't significant until recently... Initially, I only became aware of this problem on Steam, where launching the app consistently failed to connect. Only after the second attempt could I access it. Recently, I transferred my FreeBSD server (running in VirtualBox) to a VPS. When trying to connect via PuTTY, the first attempt always fails, but the second succeeds—unless you run it immediately after the first failure, then it works. The same pattern occurs with the database on the same server when using Navicat; the first connection fails, the second (as soon as possible) works, just like SSH. The most bothersome part is the game server: after a few tries, I can log in, but if I don't interact with it for a while (whether through PuTTY, Navicat, or the game itself), I need to reconnect. Refreshing the table or entering a database still results in failure, and writing in PuTTy leaves a message for a few seconds before showing what I typed. On the game, this happens too. With FileZilla, however, the connection is smooth on the first try. This issue also appears with other programs, such as Spotify. I've tried disabling Windows Firewall, running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and recently installed ESET Internet Security—nothing resolved it. I also attempted to disable Windows Firewall Control, but that program was already uninstalled. It seems the problem started after installing this tool. My router is connected to the same network as another PC, and there are no issues there. I'm using Windows 10 Pro x64 with all updates. Network cards: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller and Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265. Someone knows of an alternative solution? Thanks.
