Thanks Fireball, your very right. As I said, I was receiving support, and have already tried the forums and continue too.

I was giving feedback as to when (Q3 2012 and Q1 2014) something was applied to A3 that was applied to A2, that broke it.

I have very similar issue. It started with arma2 around second half 2012 and A3 early 2014. Before this time B.E. protected servers worked fine. I have been trying to resolve issue with Bastion at B.E. with no luck. During this time I have had same router, I might try a new one soon.
