Server can only be joined through lan....
My server can only be joined through LAN, I port forwarded correctly, and I have it set to me a public server. I am not sure what the problem is.

you mean YOU can only join it through lan? That's how your server works if you are inside the network you hosted the server on. If you did things right people outside of your network will still be able to join.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I can join it through localhost, but only people on the same internet connection as me can join. They cant join through the IP or through the join friends button.

Are you sure you forwarded the ports correctly then? Does the game show up on the server list?

I have forwarded these ports: https://screenshot.net/ope4ehq
and no the game does not show up on the server list.

you should be able to forward that port range with one rule (though this shouldn't be causing the issue) is the IP put in there the correct internal address for the machine running the server?

(I also assume you have the server set to use the correct ports, those looked default to me though so probably)

ok which should i use TCP or UDP? And the port of the server is set to is 27015.
Yes, I have put the correct internal ip in after the 192.168.1 ( I just did not screenshot it)

I can't remember what the range is.. but you might need ports opened below the server port. I can't remember what the requirement actually is, but I've been opening two above and two below.

From what I've read recently, if the specified port is 27015 (which I use for a dedicated server we have running out of our home), we need to open 27015, 27016, and 27017. Does anyone know for sure if there are more ports needed?

We've been running fine with those three ports open until suddenly this past Sunday our server stopped getting external traffic. We can have 3 PCs logged in from our internal network and I see port traffic showing up in our router logs (almost all of it to 27016), but our server stopped showing up on the "internet servers" list.

If it worked before it should still be fine. I've been getting less traffic on my server due to lots of econ ticket errors, but I'm still getting the occasional random player.

@James: thanks for the feedback on traffic. The problem is I can't see our server on the master list from an external IP (not in my internal network), and even trying to join with external IP and port doesn't work. But when USO starts the server, the server name turns blue which is supposed to indicate it's connected externally, and I do see port traffic coming in.

@wolfmountaingames: I tried putting your server name {LINK REMOVED} in the IP field and 27015 in the port field and was not able to connect.

@wolfmountaingames: I tried putting your server name "wolfmountaingames.ddns.net" in the IP field and 27015 in the port field and was not able to connect.

Hm thanks for trying.

I checked with no-ip (That is what I am using to get wolfmountaingames.ddns.net instead of a traditional ip) and it says that the port 27015 is not open which is strange because I set it to be open on my router and through windows firewall...
