CSS server: 96.44.162.238:27015
my sourcebans page:
http://slayersgaming.com/sb/index.php
I ran a test:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[+] SourceBans "Error Connecting()" Debug starting for server 96.44.162.238:27015
[+] Trying to establish UDP connection
[+] UDP connection successfull!
[+] Trying to write to the socket
[+] Successfully requested server info. (That doesn't mean anything on an UDP stream.) Reading...
[-] Error getting server info. Can't read from UDP stream. Port is possibly blocked.
[+] Trying to establish TCP connection
[-] Error connecting #110: Connection timed out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from
http://sourcebans.net/faq/which-port...equire-be-open
"If your web panel shows Error Connecting for your game server when it is actually online,
ask your web host to open UDP incoming from your game server port (usually 27015).
If either the RCON console, Admin Rehashing or Kick-It does not work on your web panel,
ask your web host to open TCP outgoing to your game server port (usually 27015).
Use this small testing script to get more detailed debugging information. Open the php file and add your gameserver's ip and port as described in the comments.
You should always check beforehand, if your gameserver banned your webserver's ip with listip in rcon. Remove it from the banned_ip.cfg and removeip IP via rcon."
I have followed the SB installation instructions very carefully. I don't think the problem is coming from me not installing SB correctly.

reply from the CSS game server hosts support people:
"We are not blocking any traffic for the port 27015, udp or tcp. I did the little script test and it is working."
