Hey guys, for explanation, here's a little explanation why i'm in this situation. In May, i built my first PC (specs in the sig). It's only for work loads like rendering and a little bit of gaming and I'm using the notebook for every day work, but my dad didn't want me to have it. So it took a long time (almost a month) that i got a restricted internet connection (wlan, guest access) on the pc which i needed for playing any recent games. I bought GTA V as dvd box for the looks, played 2 hours DJ and then started playing the story mode, online wasn't possible because the guest access is limited on available ports (only surfing and mailing). Yesterday, i saw that cities: Skylines was half the price on steam, so i took the opportunity and made a steam account and bought cities skylines via paysafe card. The problem is: I first bought the game and then installed the steam client. When i open the steam client, I can not login because the ports steam requiers are blocked on the guest access. So i have now some options: would you: 1.) try to convince my dad to get a full access on the wlan (which may never happen or take another year) 2.) start steam refund (allthough i don't know whether the money will be payed back on the paysafe card or stay as steam money) 3.) find another way.... but don't know what. (having the password for the full access doesn't work, the wlan allows only specified mac adresses) Thanks for your help!

It's odd how steam functions like a web browser, shouldn't need special ports. Still, you have to reach a middle ground for full internet access. The best approach is to find that balance.

I’d suggest doing your best to find a way to persuade your dad, while you could also consider returning the money.

This was my goal as well, but the way steam sends data through ports isn't supported by the FritzBox.

Is there any way to get your money back from the Paysafe card? That seems unclear...

He replied that I mentioned it that way, and the main point was that turnip is a solid conclusion. He doesn’t enjoy gaming; it wasn’t until I was 15 that I got a PS2.
