player hosted servers were discontinued, you can host solo servers though.

Oh it used to work recently it was just buggy in some situations in terms of grenades able to team kill and 939 + 096 unable to hit the host

so i can somehow make free server that my friend can join me?

A few weeks ago (not sure if it actually doesnt work yet)

Typing host in the console would host the server without any portforwarding needed
and people would be able to join if they had your ip (ipv4 found from sites like "what is my ip" would work)

I think that's just typing cst not host

[Harry]

The way I did it was type in cst then host and it'd launch the server and if you gave people your ip to direct connect that'd work

my friend tried my ip with the port and it said host not avalable

[Harry]

I dont think the port is needed and also where are you getting your own ip from?
It could be that your grabbing it from task manager which displays the wrong ipv4 sometimes or atleast for me, Usually I just get my ip from sites like what is my ip / ipv4
