Hello All,

I am having an issue with my Rust server visiblity on the Steam Server list, as well as people connecting to my server remotely. My batch file is below. I am using a pFsense firewall updated to the latest version. I have set permissions on my firewall for the address ports 28015-28019. And I am forwarding the Internal address to my internet facing address. I am able to locally connect to the server using the local IP address and client.connect command. Attempting to connect via the internet facing IP address with client.connect, shows that the server is found (raknet) but then fails to connect. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and how did they resolve it? 

@echo off

:: Set the server directory
cd /d C:\rustserver

:: Start the Rust server with specified ports
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode server.ip *.*.*.* +server.port 28015 +app.port 28018 +server.queryport 28016 +rcon.port 28019 +server.identity "dream_server_1" +server.gamemode vanilla

:: Keep the console window open
gotostart

Kind Regards,

Anthony Green

Switch off your firewall temporarily to see whether or not it's a firewall issue.

It's not the firewall, I have extensive knowledge in pfsense and firewalls, and I am not risking that. Plus I have other applications that get out from behind the firewall. 

is that static IP?

Why are you asking for help if you already know better than everyone else?
