This issue is often not caused by firewalls, but usually by:

(1) Your router is connected to your ISP's router/modem, both of which have NATs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT). Your connections go through 2 NATs, also called a double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm

 

You can try to connect directly via cable to the ISP router/modem and see if the strict NAT issue goes away. If not then you possibly have issue (2)

 

(2) Your ISP has a NAT somewhere else you have no control with. You can either ask your ISP about this (depends on how good their customer support is, or what their policy is about connections) or you will have to change your ISP to make it go away.
