I just downloaded the counterstrike package from steam, and would like to have a trial run with my buddies ie private game. However, it doesn't seem that I am able to create a closed room for them to join.
I have spent/wasted some hours
https://omegle.ws online looking for a solution, and have even tried out the HLDS/SteamCMD method to try and create a dedicated server, but the steamcmd is not even updating for me (am getting the unable to connect to internet error).
