Opening Ports in Firewall

Opening ports can be a technical task that not all players could feel comfortable doing themselves. However, below is a simple guide to aid in opening ports in your firewall if you run into issues while trying to host a dedicated server.

Below can be found the ports that need to be opened:

TCP

• 8080-8081 (ONLY if you plan to administer your server remotely.)
• 8082 (If you are using Alloc's mods, this is for the web map.)
• 26900

UDP

• 26900-26903

Required Ports for Steam

• To log into Steam and download content:
  • HTTP (TCP port 80) and HTTPS (443)
  • UDP 27015 through 27030
  • TCP 27015 through 27030
• Steam Client
  • UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive (Game client traffic)
  • UDP 27015 to 27030 inclusive (Typically Matchmaking and HLTV)
  • UDP 27031 and 27036 (incoming, for In-Home Streaming)
  • TCP 27036 and 27037 (incoming, for In-Home Streaming)
  • UDP 4380
