just a quick question.. i cannot use rcon while being outside of my network
the game is accessbile to the world, but is unable to connect with rcon outside of my lan
the server runs behind a router, and all ports necessary are open and forwarded
so if anyone has any ideas or such then it would be greatly appreciated
thanks again

never ever tried it but i wonder if you rcon your server name??? sounds crazy but may indeed work...i mean if you add a server you can do so by either ip or name right...

you need an exact way to contact the server, and that is by IP although hostname may work. Thats internet hostname and not server hostname

yes my server is listed on the steam server list, my server is full 24/7 i have to kick ppl to play.
i have +ip lan_ip in my start up, but anywhere outside of my lan rcon is broken.
maybe i dont have the correct ports to listen to
does rcon use UDP? or TCP?
