When I do it through Windows, I've had to open the ports on both my PC along with my router. Also nothing worked until I finally changed the dedicatedserver.cfg to have "SkipNetworkAccessibilityTest": true

Dedicated Service Issue not showing after 1.0 release

This is a known bug. Despite all port troubleshooting with the Windows Firewall and ISP's port forwarding, SotFDS would report that all 3 are closed. The solution is to set SkipNetworkAccessibilityTest to true. After that, the server was instantly found by users outside the network.

Dedicated Service Issue not showing after 1.0 release

Same here. Pasting this from my Reddit post in case others can help with troubleshooting: -I was able to update the SotF Dedicated Server tool via Steam's application (just downloaded it like the normal game). No change. -I ran SteamCMD, logged in anonymously, and ran "app_update 2465200 validate". Update successful, but no change. -dedicatedserver.cfg has always had "SkipNetworkAccessibilityTest": true; setting it to false gives the same "port is closed. Please fix and restart". -dedicatedserver.cfg has always had "IpAddress": "0.0.0.0"; setting it to my public-facing IP gives me -System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'udpEventStartFailed' to type 'UdpEventStartDone'. -Inbound and outbound ports are still present -Public-facing IP has not changed, and my friend can still ping me
