Can't get server running outside of local network

Hey guys, i'm pretty new to this so sorry if it's annoying, lol.

I've made a basic server which I can connect to only via "clientconnect localhost:28015"

My server will show up in the list in rust, but no one outside of my network can connect to it. I have 28015 port forwarded in my router. I'm not sure what else to try.

I've attached my startup .bat file

 

My router(Asus RT-AC3100) has on option to forward but udp and tcp at the same time which is what I did.

 

Make sure your local firewall is also allowing it (Windows Firewall, antivirus firewall, etc).
Sometimes (rarely) a reboot of the router is also needed. Shouldn't need it but may help.

 

yeah i made inbound and outbound rules in the windows firewall. still hasn't change anything :\ i have rebooted my router a few times as well

 

Hm... first things first - do you have external ip address? Cos if not - anything you do is usless....

 

He states that he can see his server on the list.
Tho, looking at his startup bat file, he could add +server.ip 0.0.0.0 to it (where 0.0.0.0 is his external IP), but really shouldn't be needed unless he has multiple IPs connecting to that computer/server

 

Yeah i tried that line on my bat file but it didn't change anything so I took it back off. I'm only trying to make this server just for a me and a few friends to mess around on, nothing serious. I'm really out of ideas to try. It could possibly be something in my router blocking it(has a crazy amount of features)? But obviously i'm really not sure.

 

in your router Firewall & Access Control Port filter add the ports to it

 

I'm not actually sure what ip's to put where on this. Any suggestions?

 

it should be your IPv4 address it starts with 192 for source ip the other ip might be your internal that part not sure you will need to google some info on it

 

[WAN] Introduction of Virtual Server/ Port Forwarding

Check Virtual Server tab

 

Its running on his pc not a virtual server

 

Virtual Server is option in ASUS router settings, lol.

 

Show a screenshot as I dont have this router

 

Yeah that's how I had it and no luck. I'm about to just give up haha. I know it's something stupid

its just the normal port forwarding screen.

 

you will need to look into the FAQ and read up on everything for your router as you are over looking something it is either a firewall in the router or windows firewall or all 3
