For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get my server to show up on the Rust community list of servers. My server works fine if I connect via "client.connect localhost:28015" but it refuses to show up in any lists or be publicly available. I have a Netgear router and I opened up the ports in the "Port Forwarding/Port Triggering" section of the router page in this fashion:
Name: Rust
Service Type: TCP/UDP (I can also choose either TCP or UDP exclusively).
External Starting Port: 28015
External Ending Port: 28015
Internal Starting Port: 28015
Internal Ending Port: 28015
Internal IP Address: 192.168.1.xxx (which is an IP address that has nothing but this computer/Rust server on it).
I also created a second "port forward" with all the same info except the External and Internal Start/End Ports are 28016. Can somebody who is more familiar with port forwarding/Rust-specific config help me out here?
This is also my batch file, in C:\steamcmd\Rust_Server\Server, if needed or anyone is curious.
echo off
:start
cd steam
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
cd ..
cd rustds
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.hostname "Bojack House" +server.port 28015 +server.identity "my_server" +server.seed 1234567 -logFile "output.txt" -autoupdate
cd ../
goto start
Server won't show up on community list

If you are behind a router on the same network, you likely won't see it due to your router. Players outside should see it just fine if it is forwarded an if they can connect using the command.

Are you trying to connect to the 192.168.1.xxx ip?

If you installed oxide then it will be under modded and not community. If you did not install oxide it will be under community. You can also make it show in the community if set in oxide's config. If it's not showing up in any list then you did something wrong or something is blocking it.
