After six months using a VPN instead I couldn't connect to C4 Server, Mr 1v1 Server, SexyFraggers Server, all Vanilla and Retro Servers, AIM+ Servers, A-Ones Servers (Beer Freezer, ERA17, ... every others was fine),
SHADOW*FFF found an answer for me!

I hope every players who have this problem could read this.

I used IPv4 only. I thought my IPv6 was really activated but in fact it wasn't. (Yes, you might have thought about this...) I just checked that my IPv6 is really working and make a try, everything is working fine now.
I reduced my ping by few milliseconds and the usual 3% of packet losses disappeared too.

Have a good night.

Thank you for that information !

a) Do you get any error message?
If yes what is the exact error message?

I would like to explain that IPv6 was depended on by the
RNRP (Redundant Network Routing Protocol) service. To troubleshoot the
issue, let's refer to the following steps.

Step 1:

Temporarily disable Firewall and third party antivirus program on the computer for a test.

Step 2:

Verify relevant services are turned on.

1. Click "Start", type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in Search Bar and press Enter.

2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.

3. Right click the "Peer Networking Grouping" service and choose Properties.

4. Please check if the service is started; if not, please click the Start button and see if it works.

5. You may also choose Automatic next to Startup type.

6. Click OK.

7. Please repeat the above steps with another service:
PNRP Machine Name Publication Service.

Step 3:

Modify IPv6 registry key to enable IPV6

Important: This section,
method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry.
However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry
before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the
registry, click the following article number to view the
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756

1. Click Start, type regedit in Search Bar, and then click regedit in the Programs list.

2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.

3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters

4. Check whether the "DisabledComponents" registry key exists. If so, let's move on the next steps.

5. Double click the "DisabledComponents" registry key and modify the value to
0.

(If the key doesn't exist, please create the key above and assign the value
0)

6. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
