For those who are unaware, Source Games rely heavily on port forwarding for both Hosting and Connection. Though it is an inconvenience to setup port forwarding, it may slightly or dramatically help improve your connection.
Port Forwarding is primarily for packets of data to be sent easily without interference between you and Nexon's Database.
Advanced users: If you already know how to Port Forward, the two ports are 27000-27025 TCP/UDP and 47611-47611 TCP/UDP
If you have any questions or need further help, feel free to ask.

*If you already know how to port forward, skip to Step 5*
Step 1: Go to Start > Search/Run and type CMD.
Step 2: Type in ipconfig. Copy down your Default Gateway and your IPv4
Step 3: Open your web browser and put your Default Gateway in the address bar (it may ask for a password, if you don't know it then Google "Default Password [insert router type here]" If the default password doesn't work, then ask your family if they know it. As a last resort, hold down the small reset button on the router with a pen for a minute. Reconnect then try the default password again.)
Step 4: Go to the Application(or similar) tab and find Port Forward(or Port Range Forward).
Step 5: You are going to forward 2 ports. Name them both Vindictus as a reminder of what they're for.
1) Start: 27000
End: 27025
Protocol: TCP & UDP
IP Address: Type in your IPv4
2) Start: 47611
End: 47611
Protocol: TCP & UDP
IP Address: Do the same as above
Enable them and save
