No connection with authorisation server - unable to log in

[TNK4]

Bought the game today (steam), made an account on the website, activated the keys, but whenever I attempt to log in I get the errors attached in the screenshot. Contacted support and they gave me a list of things to do: 

 

Before authorizing:

- check the settings of the Security (antivirus, firewall, UAC ...) Make sure that they are not blocking the exchange of data with the server

- make sure that the update is successfully completed

- make sure you have Administrator privileges for your Windows account

 

- make all the game ports in the exceptions your router and security tools

  Authorization requires ports 80 and 443.

  Multiplayer mode uses TCP – 28000, UDP – 28000,

  Downloader Port (TCP) – 28100.

- try to use direct cable connection to PC

- perhaps it makes sense to update the router firmware

 

Did all of that, still doesn't work. I've looked at other forums posts that have suggested a wide array of things, but nothing has worked. As you can probably tell it has gotten a bit frustrating at this point - can anyone help me?

I own BOS, BOM, Kuban, pre-purchace Bodenplatt, and this has been happening to me for the last 8 months. Nobody seems to have a consistent answer to a solution. I've done the "phony password" trick and then re-enter my real password, and it launches. But that is annoying every damn day. This needs to be fixed.
