HELP Connection Problem - Failed to resolve hostname

You only need to forward those ports on the server side.
As a client this is not required and could potentially be harmfull.

As long as you don’t provide the full domain we won’t be able to fully help you.

I can suggest to use a custom DNS server.
If you are running windows you can change the used DNS server in the adapter configuration by selecting Properties → Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) → Properties → Use the following DNS server addresses:
I would recommend using either the Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) or the Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
You can also use combinations of those like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
There are a tone of different DNS servers out there but those proved most reliable for me.

(To reset this simply check Obtain DNS server address automatically again)

This might help resolve the hostname.
