what is rcon adress?

check if the ports are open. the game uses udp only, but rcon needs tcp. so it might be that the udp port is open (as you probably can connect to the game) but the tcp is not. note that most windows firewalls handle udp on a single package level, so you need to open both directions explicitly (e.g. allow udp connections from internet to local port 27015 and allow udp connections from local port 27015 to the internet).

ps: the rcon_address command is only required if you want to manage a different server then you are connected to.
