Cant join a game with my friend

So I'm trying to connect to my friend it keeps saying connecting to game but with others I doesn't work like I try to launch it in admin and other stuff

Usually it's a firewall or port forwarding issue. Best bet is for the both of you is to make a firewall exception for thugpro.exe. If that doesn't help, you might need to jump into your router/modem settings and forward ports 5153 and 5154.

how do i do that?
