gmod dedicated server not responding (yes i port forwarded)

[xdarkmario]

sorry to ask such questions please dont ban me.
i have setup a remote computer elsewhere at my workplace and i have port forwarded all the ports 27000 - 27050 on both UTP and TCP and i tried both static and dynamic but my friends get not responded any additional steps i need? im also having trouble getting rust server up but thats another issue.

At your workplace? Good luck keeping that running.

As for the Firewall. One: You shouldn't be forwarding 27000 - 27050. It's overkill and only weakens your security. You need port 27005 TCP/UDP and 27015 (+1 for each server you run) TCP/UDP.

As for what the issue might be, have you opened these ports on the local PC's Windows Firewall or on Linux if you have a Firewall running - as well as on the router?

the computer is running windows and opened the ports on the router, do i need to open them on the pc itself? if so how? i already added them to my windows firewall

i'm supposed to use my external IP followed by the port of the game right?

eg. 135.24.225.122:27015
right

i even tried DMZ and disabling the firewall, Nothing!

edit, it works but that stupid website just reports wrong, dmz seemed to do the trick
