I will not say anything on how to forward ports.
I could always host with dmz enabled (it opens all ports) but i couldn't host games with just forwarding ports, and i fixed it.

If you launch hlds and it doesnt show you ipv4 of your internet in it (should be 192.168.x.x:27015) then it needs to be fixed.
To fix that, open command prompt and type ipconfig/all, find the ip that is showing in your hlds, also check those devices (you might have wifi, ethernet 3, bluetooth adapter etc).
Go to control panel and disable those devices (leave your wifi enabled of course) because for some reason, they took over ipv4.

I don't know if it helps, but i think you should add +ip <your ipv4> in your hlds command line, like this

I had that problem in first paragraph, fixed it and i added that command in hlds.exe and it worked, i can host with only ports now. (i opened 27000-27100 udp)

Is portchecker even supposed to see the port?
It didnt work even when i enabled dmz

And of course, you have to be connected to centralised network to be able to host.
