Problem Description

Issue

Tried connecting to server publicly at my address 98.248.196.39:8211 but it refuses. Port 27015 refuses to listen and its forwarded in my gateway.

Reproduction Steps

  • Need port 27015 to open
  • Need public access
  • Port is open and forwarded in gateway settings

Try using port checker to verify if the port is actually open, if it is closed then the router’s ports are not opening like they should. I used to have this issue while back, my router is a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 model and through a software update I lost all port forwarding and UPNP functionality. I ended up flashing it with DD-WRT software and havent had an issue since. Apart from that, in your server settings, under custom command line arguments, type in -publiclobby and check to see if make community server is also enabled. I couldnt find my server without having both of those on.
