As soon as i connect to a TF2 server my whole internet starts lagging. It's been happening for a few days now. Before i had a ping between 5-15 on European servers and a 60-90 ping on american servers. Now i have a 600 ping on European servers and my whole internet almost crashes everytime i join a server. It's normal again as soon as I leave the server. I didn't change anything, not my router and nothing in my configs/the game itself. It's only like that in tf2. In any other game my ping is stable and my internet doesn't like crash. Does this happen to anyone else and does anyone know a fix?
your isp is throttling you? or you have routing issues. either way you have to contact your isp

As said it's only TF2 and it's not the source engine because CSGO works perfectly fine.

Check the ports that TF2 run off of and see if any are bogging down. This might help, see if any of these reject a connection

UDP 27015 - Main connection port. This is the port and protocol used by the server browser, allows clients to connect.
TCP 27015 - This port is used for RCON such as with SourceBans (if needed).
UDP 27020 - SourceTV (if enabled). You can disable this port by adding "-nohltv" to the start up command.
UDP 27005 - This is an outgoing connection used by clients. Typically you would not need to open this port in your firewall because this is for OUTBOUND connections. Port forwarding is usually only required for INBOUND connections. If you're not sure if you need this, you DON'T. People who need to open this will already know that they do because they very specifically configured their firewall to restrict outbound traffic.
In the website just put the IP of the server you're connecting to.
