Can't connect to servers

I can't connect to certain servers. On some of them, I can't connect on ethernet but for some reason it lets me connect on wifi (eg kroketbrigade and certain pubs) on others I can't connect at all (eg tragicservers).

It's stuck on "connecting to server" then it just says connection failed after 4 retries

Halp?

The normal advice applies. Have you tried turning it off and on again? Steam, that is. I've known people with a recurring problem along these lines that was sometimes solved by restarting Steam. If that doesn't work, have you tried restarting your computer?

I'm not promising results, but those are always the first things you should try. Also, how often does the problem happen? Have you only seen it once? Is it constant? Intermittent?

Have you tried getting a new IP if yours is dynamic? Changing your clientport? Disabling firewalls?

Constant on certain servers, disappears after a large period of time (weeks/months). Restarted steam/laptop/router/ did ipconfig release/renew, tf2 is whitelisted on my firewall, no idea how to change clientport

I've never done it, but I understand that you use the +clientport launch option. Some random post in the Steam forums claims valid options are from 27005-27032, not including 27020. I have no idea whether that's credible.

I'll give it a shot, thanks for the advice
