all the ports are good, starts just fine. can add log files

Please provide a pastebin.com link to your Rust/Unity log (not Oxide logs).

Are you sure that is the log from the latest run? It looks fine according to that. How are you trying to connect to the server?

client.connect IP:28015, it should be. i deleted it and just did a fresh install and startup, localhost didnt even work

Is this on the same machine as the client then? You should see a local console.

no 2 seperate comps

restarted comp fresh start of server, not showing, no local

Log still looks fine there. If the server is not on the same machine, you'd need to use the LAN IP of that machine, not the public IP or localhost.

nothing with either

If you can't join the server from your local network you need to check your firewall.
