Server Tried everything under the sun, can't get it to work

[DaneTheBeast]

Tried to follow the wiki. Didn't work.
Tried to follow a youtube video, worked for one day, Next day it stopped working.
Tried doing everything again and suddenly it only shows up on LAN instead as a public server.

Player-created launchers are outdated.

Is there really no normal and working way to host a server? Any help would be great...

Most common cause of LAN only is security software blocking the game from reaching out beyond the firewall.

Make sure to set the portS from the startup command line (check wiki for the command line arguments or switches you can use), don't use the default ports to avoid conflict with Steam/Game because they bind to same default ports so then it creates a mess.
Make sure then the proper fixed non default ports are forwarded from your router to the server machine, make also sure there is no firewall blocking the server on the machine.
Local server will most likely always only show in your LAN tab, ask for friends if they see it in server browser or use external website to see if they can reach it (gametracker for example, or similar website, like RIP previously SkillServer query tool page)

Got it working after finding some new steps to take on a Steam Guide for KF2.
Also had a bit of trouble since I'm behind a double NAT router it seems, so had to mess with Ports AND DMZ.
