Solved Cannot examine or set variable sv_region

I have been trying to get my Rust server so that it will be visible on the internet. I am told I should set the variable sv_region to a value, however this command is not recognised as a command from either the Rust client console, or from the rcon Rustadmin tool.

How do I ask what this value is set to, and how do I set it, please. I have tried creating a server.cfg in my Rust_Server/Server/rustds/server/[my server name] with the line "sv_region 3" in it, but this does not fix the problem either.

I have followed all the instructions at this link below, as advised by people in other posts.
Rust Dedicated Server - Valve Developer Community

- I have forwarded ports 28015 and 28016 (server.port and rcon.port) and set ip to 0.0.0.0
- I have switched off windows firewall and antivirus for testing
- I have successfully set up Rustadmin and can manage things on my server.

But I cannot for the life of me get the console to tell me what sv_region is set to, or set it from the console/Rustadmin. I just get 'invalid command'.

I would appreciate help, here.

 

Thanks for the response.

In that case is there anything you can suggest to enable my Rust server to appear in the server list? I've been battling this for some time, and tried everything I've seen people suggest. I set up port fowarding but no joy.

 

A friend helped me figure it out. The ports were being forwarded to the wrong IP. I had to set it to the IPV4 ip address (from network settings info), then it started working. Cheers Turtlehead!

Thanks for your help anyway.
