Dedicated server not working after internet upgrade

It sounds as it is in the tilte and it has taken me down some very distant pathways to work this out to why.
I had a dedicated server working from a pc at home.
The internet was TPG FTTN at 20 up and 40 down mbps. The dedi was working fine as i use a provider to assign a DDNS as i dont have a static IP.

I upgraded to FTTB and now get approx 50 up and 770 down mbps.
As soon as i upgraded the dedi stopped showing up in match maker. i managed to get it to show up but when i connect it times out 5 tries.
I have tried moving the ports around to get it to connect but it always fails as it does not return on the x+1 HTTP port.
So i have simulation port 55100 and HTTP server port 48010
TCP 48010
UDP 48011
UDP 48012
UDP 55100

So the issue is i can never get the port after 48010 (x+1 is 48011) to show up on the system and get recognized so RF2 dedi will show up in game but fails to connect.

Runing on CMD to test it with the dedi running comes up as:
C:\Users\Administrator>netstat -ano | findstr 480
TCP 0.0.0.0:48010 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4660
UDP 0.0.0.0:48012 *:* 4660

There is no 48011 for rf2 dedi to connect properly.

I have had it running fine on win 11 with the previous internet connection and have even tried windows server 2022 to dive deeper into why the x+1 port never shows up and breaks the connection.
No matter what range of ports i set it never broadcasts with the x+1 port.
So if you set the HTTP port rf2 will always go to the next two ports after it to connect properly.
This only happened after using super fast internet.

I am at a loss and can only try linux to run a dedi on fast internet.
 
I user a port checker when running my server's from home and one of the UDP ports never shows, but has never been a problem to date. I noticed that you've only listed UDP 55100 for your sim port, it should have both TCP and UDP.
So these should be your ports:
TCP 48010
UDP 48011
UDP 48012
TCP 55100
UDP 55100
 
@flyfisho have you checked your ports are reachable from outside? A lot of the faster cheap ISPs are using cgnat which will make hosting nigh on impossible, depending on the provider you can ask for cgnat to be turned off or may need to get a static IP.
Just something to check if you can’t work it out.
 
Thanks guys.
Ill look at the sim port for UDP and TCP. Provider is TPG and ill check out the cgnat and harass them. I pretty sure TPG might use cgnat to issue addresses. If so think this is the issue.
All ports are open as this was the first check i did.
DDNS is working as all other game dedis are running fine and friends can RDC into the server with the domain name on DDNS.

Log analyzer works fine
Wreckfest game dedi works fine.

I have tried on 3 separate machines. Win 10, Win 11 and win server 2022.
Get all the same result no binding of the x+1 port
All ports reachable and open via a checker.

I feel there is an issue with the way the faster internet is working with packets over the UDP ports and RF2 is being precious. Cant pin point it.
