So i took a break from rust for about 6 months, before, I used to make rust servers all day long without a problem, same contract to the same ISP, same router, same settings. Couple days ago i tried to make a rust server and I failed, I tried 100 forums, called my ISP 32 times, talked to 43 experts and no luck. The problem is the following : the port 28015 won't open. All settings in the router are fine so I don't think there's a need for me to upload those but on demand ill be more than happy to do so. I followed the valve rust dedicated server setup tutorial 1:1 as i always do and i copied this batch file :
echo off
:start
RustDedicated.exe ^
-batchmode ^
+rcon.port 28016 ^
+rcon.password rustyroll1452 ^
+server.port 28015 ^
+server.level "Procedural Map" ^
+server.seed 1234 ^
+server.worldsize 1000 ^
+server.maxplayers 10 ^
+server.hostname "Test" ^
+server.description "Test" ^
+server.url "http://rustyroll.com" ^
+server.headerimage "" ^
+server.identity "server1" ^
goto start
This is an error I get :

Here im testing the port with the server opened :

I can connect through localhost:28015, my friends from outside my LAN can not.
There is definitely something wrong with the configuration or something in the files of the server and I would really need some help.
Thank you.
By the way, here are the router's settings : https://imgur.com/a/o2ZvMDi
You need to port forward for other ppl to join your server. Here's what I used recently How to Forward Ports on Your Router | PCWorld
Make sure its set so its looking between 28015 and 28016. not just one or the other. Also try having friends connect using steam or the "friends" tab on the server list. I had issues trying to get them to client.connect
Thank you but I am pretty sure my settings and my set-up is correct.
As you can see in the following photo, 28015 does not open, 28016 does and I would like to know why.
There is no problem with the connecting methods nor with my port forwarding.
Thank you.
This terminal outputs port 28015 and 28016 and shows their status. 28016(RCON) is listening and usable, 28015 isn't.
