Server Dedicated Server Issues

[Kyrios311]

I can't for the love of me get my own server up and running. I wanted to host a server for my friends and I to personally play on, and the tutorial given simply does not cover this thoroughly enough for me. :/

I followed everything it said, and my friends cannot see, nor join it via IP connection. I have forwarded the ports from multiple people saying these are for the server:
7777
7776
27015
27016
8080

I looked up all the possible guides I could, and even scoured the forums with threads ending up far in the past right to when they switched to the SteamCMD server junk.

There are no videos on Youtube on setting up servers for specifically this game.

It's very agitating. They can't even see the server. I have my firewall disabled when testing, and I don't have a super controlling antivirus program. What could the problem be?
Please help?

There are ISPs that do block ranges of ports. It might be that your ISP{ is doing this too and blocks for instance port 7777. If that one would not be blocked, then people should be able to connect to it using your IP even if they don't see the server listed in their server browser. In your case your friend can't connect over IP which indicates that either that port is blocked by your ISP, either the port forwarding isn't working as it should be, or a firewall (either on router or your PC) is blocking the request.

I assume you have allowed the process access through your windows firewall?
