1. 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

    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.
     
  3. So I should be asking people to look for it in *their* community lists? To me, it looks like it is port forwarded correctly, so I'm not sure what my course of action here is. If I can't see it, that's fine. But I just want it to be able to show up and have public people connect beyond just my Discord who have a direct connection.
     
  4. I see mine ok check you allowed it on windows firewall
     
  5. I completely turned off my firewall for the time being, but it IS allowed both publicly and privately.
     
  6. Are you trying to connect to the 192.168.1.xxx ip?
     
  7. Have you disabled EAC? FacePunch won't display non-EAC servers in the in-game browser.
     
  8. 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.
