Next Steps
Ensure you have your network profile set to private and not public and ensure you have the required firewall rules as documented in WarNet Troubleshooting

Why are we using OpenVPN
Port forwarding has always been an issue for plenty of players since day one of WWII: Panzer Claws release. Massive deploying of routers in households, combined with restricted administrative access to it by Internet Service Providers and giving to end-users private (non-public) IP addresses instead of real ones, made this issue only worse over the years.

This is where OpenVPN comes in handy. When you, your friends and everyone else are connecting to our OpenVPN server, you will be automatically assigned with virtual IP addresses from the same network, which practically puts you in the same virtual Local Area Network, and since that moment it doesn't matter if you have or haven't public IP and/or restricted router — all you have to do is to make sure your local firewall in your operating system doesn't block necessary traffic.

Using this VPN is safe as it's configured to pass through only necessary game traffic, anything else like shared folders is restricted by default on server side.
