I'm going crazy here. I port forward these ports. Windows Firewall disabled. No firewall.

27000-27015 (udp)
27015-27016 (udp/tcp)
27015-27030 (udp)

I port forward it to my internal ip. Anyone else can join my server from lobby but I can't. If i'm lobby leader and mm_dedicated~ it doesn't find it. But someone else can.

If I port forward it to 127.0.0.1 I can connect from lobby but others can't.

Directly connecting to it is fine.

Like this guy. (DIggity)

this dedicated server are you using -ip in the cmd line with your WAN ip? I see the guy in the steamfourms used his LAN ip.. this would only work for people on your network..

The server is on the same machine as you playing the game.. and your behind a router that's connected to the internet?

[Simca]

yes client and server same computer behind router. Should I use ip? I don't use that line.

What should I do?

[Simca]

Ok I put -ip and a different ip. It works but it's showing insecure in status. disconnected from steam3.

[hamilton5]

start the server and then in cmd.exe type netstat -nb look for listening and your server.exe to find ports you need to 'forward'.. also google..

[Simca]

I didn't see anything in cmd. netstat -nb
So I installed netlimiter and all outgoing connection ports are 27017~27019. Incoming port is 27015. Weird lol. Anyway will add those to port forward. Though I have doubts it'll fix this..

[Simca]

Ok I can connect to server using mm_dedicated to external ip fine. But there is no vac enabled on server disconnected from steam3
