Hello and kind regards,
its my first time making a kf 2 server so i might have made mistakes so as of now my server is fully working BUT just for me i can join it play on it and i can open the webadmin change map,deffcuilty,ect
BUT my friends cant join me i see my server on server list under the tap "LAN" but when i invite my friends to join it takes them to a loading screen then it jumps back to the main menu they cant join i tried via "open "my IP" and via invite from steam it self , i followed this guide https://steamcommunity.com/app/232090/discussions/0/618460129740977382/
and here a pic for my ports "ON router and on windows firewall" my windows deffender IS active tho
http://prntscr.com/rmnd3s ROUTER ports "Kasda"
i ported the firewall aswell IT IS active BUT i have ported all the required ports "steam port" kf2 port ect oh and i have already ADDED my IPV4 to my DMZ .
Thank you and kind regards ^^.
 
You can play on the server and administer it with the webadmin page, which means it is running, however your friends can not join. This points to a network issue in my mind.
I can only think of these solutions at the moment:

1. The server may be bound to your router IP and not your IPV4 address
Be sure you are not using your router's 192.168.x.x address

2. There may be another network configuration problem blocking people from connecting to you. It might be worth temporarily turning off windows firewall and having someone try to join to see if that is the issue.

Your post it says you've already tried directly joining through the cirect connect method and steam invite, however here is the open command as Aurlen mentioned it.
Spoiler!

You can find out your WAN IPV4 by using a free service such as https://whatismyipaddress.com/

The IP of your server can be set in the startup line with

-ip your_ip_here

example:

-ip 77.77.77.77

It looks like you are using a batch file if you followed that guide you posted. Open and edit that file, it should have the start line inside where you can define the IP.

I hope this helps, cheers.
