Port forwarding issue

I'm hosting my own oxide server, portforwarding with my bell router. Tried following youtube videos for port forwarding but none seem to help me.


I think it's an issue with the bat file, I'm not sure:
:START
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip 0.0.0.0 +server.port 28015 +server.hostname "The Rusty Spoon" +server.identity "my_server" +server.maxplayers 50 +server.worldsize 5000 +server.saveinterval 600 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "1234" -logfile logfilename.log"
GOTO START

Here is my port forwarding rule:


I can connect directly in the console using client.connect (ipv4:28015)

 

I'll get a friend to try connecting to it, thanks for your help!

 

You can also use this tool to check if it's getting listed: AdriaanBoshoff/GetServerAtAddress

 

@Wulf

A friend successfully connected by using client.connect because they couldn't find the server in the server list. How do I get it to show up there? Will it take a few hours to come up?

 

Check out this tutorial on Port Forwarding.
[Solved - Opening Ports For Your Rust Server (Port Forwarding)]
It explains how to add a locally-hosted server to your favorites list so you can finally see it.

 

You can connect to your own server with client.connect localhost:28015

others will see it in modded list if you have mods on the server, otherwise it should show up in community. Try giving it a very obvious name and searching for that, or better yet let your friend do it.

 

You missed a few this in your bat file try this one rename it to what you want and edit it with notepad++ and edit the rcon password
