Internet works fine, but can't connect to any game servers

Hello, so as you can probably see I have a problem.
My internet is fine, i can search on google, youtube and stuff, but when I TRY TO PLAY ANY ONLINE GAMES LIKE (league of legends, cs 1.6) I just can't connect to any server even if the server is working (not off). When i connect i just time out and can't connect.
So what could be my problem?
Things i tried:
-Port forwarding. Photo: http://www.part.lt/perziura/88836e32131ac69d9fca389f9cca1c27300.png
-Restarting router, computer and everything
-Reinstalling everything
-Searching 1000000000 forums and find no solution
-Turning off firewalls/antivirus softwares

I started doing ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew and quickly join a server, that works SOMETIMES.

So what could be the problem? I don't get it.

Have you checked that the port forwarding is actually working?

Remove the port forwarding configuration from your router and disable the firewall and any other security software you use, then try again to see if it is still blocked. If you have no luck, you will need to contact your ISP.

Have you tried to disable Cortana in Windows 10 to test this ? I suggest that.

Also, check this list for ANY programs you may have that are problematic, but there may be others not listed.

Norton is one of the worst ones. I suggest you get rid of it and get one not listed. Norton has been a big problem in the past for many users for different reasons.

I suggest you fully uninstall Norton from your system and remove all traces of it ASAP.
