I checked my firewall and NAT, they allow 30303 and 30304 on both TCP and UDP.

$ sudo ufw status | grep 3030
30304                      ALLOW       Anywhere
30303                      ALLOW       Anywhere
30304 (v6)                 ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
30303 (v6)                 ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)
$ sudo iptables --list | grep 3030

EDIT

I also tried to follow this post to strictly set my peers to the revived ropsten net. But the peers still seem to be rejecting my connection.

30 Mar 2018 - List of Ropsten peers below updated

I used the following commands from How can I create a list of peers from my syncing geth node to manually paste into my non-syncing geth node using the admin.addPeer() command? to extract a list of peers from my local Ropsten node:

function getPeers() {
  admin.peers.forEach( function(e) {
    console.log("admin.addPeer('enode://" + 
      e.id + "@" + 
      e.network.remoteAddress.substring(0, e.network.remoteAddress.indexOf(':')) + 
      ":30303');");
  }) 
}
getPeers();

Here is the output of the command:

admin.addPeer('enode://7df4f8fa037f82cc03ba0c1acd3fccba4ae40fc03704283979f074cadf37cc5b70845d1acee4161c3432eb6934ba3020cbaf9cc2ba841cdfb03d113ebeef5b79@172.104.5.185:30303');

You can copy and paste the commands above to manually added these peers to your geth --testnet console JavaScript console.

    Thanks the method. However I'm without any syncing ropsten nodes. But good to know the method and up voted. – Roy Feb 16 '18 at 02:25

It seems that the ropsten bootnodes are down for quite a while now. I'm manually adding peers from https://gist.github.com/rfikki/9ebbda396cb8b56543448a7f913828e9 and it works.

    Sorry. Looking at this too late. If it's not too much trouble for you, could you kindly refresh the link? – Roy Feb 16 '18 at 02:25
