port forwarding is free, assuming you have a router. If not, then you shouldn't be having that issue.
that website is also free, if that's what you're talking about.
quick Edit: just noticed the ad for the PFTool, if that's the subject of your question, ignore that, it's a way to get people to pay for something they can do for free.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?
From looking on the Internet, the following ports need to be opened:
7777 (TCP/UDP)
28900 (TCP)
27900 (UDP)
28910 (TCP)
28902 - Some people seem to need this port opened as well....but some others don't.
As "Rainless" mentions, it's pretty straightforward setting up a game for your friends and the greater majority of the time, it works using the "in game" prompts. But on occasion, if ports specific ports are not open, your system will not accept a incoming connection from other players.
