CS:GO Server sets the wrong public IP!

[Noah0302]

Hey guys,

I have quite the problem on my hand here:
-I want to host a private CS:GO Server
-My ISP does not provide me with a private IPv4

So I only have the option to set up a server through a VPN Service like Hamachi or, in my case, Radmin.

This is however tricky since the Server sets the public IP to 95.222.25.104 at the moment, which is not reachable, since this IP seems to be used by multiple devices AND routers. I tried forwarding on my router, it is not possible.
If it were possible to set the servers IP to the one of my Radmins network, it should work, as this is already working with my TS3 and Minecraft server!

The other option is to set the local IP of the server to the one provided by Radmin.
But this also does not work, since the server is not able to connect to Steam servers like that and will only allow LAN connections over my real LAN.
If there is a way to remove the LAN only funktion of the "offline" server, this would fix my problem as well!

Can anyone help me here?
I fear that there won't be a way for me to fix this.

You need to port forward, it's the only way.

 

You need to find out all ports CS:GO servers need and then forward all traffic hitting your public IP using those ports to the internal IP of your server machine. Also make sure the software firewall on the machine (linux/windows/mac) is either disabled or properly setup to accept the traffic.

 

Don't expect your server to immediately end up in a server browser though, your clients will need to connect manually using that IP, unless you have a domain that you can use with an appropriate A-record in DNS.

It actually is visible in the server browser but it refuses connection, since its not lan real lan

I have never done a CSGO Server but I recommend that you set the server listening ip to 0.0.0.0 and that should work. Maybe try adding some firewall rules also

I assume you're on Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT), its mostly used by mobile internet providers.

 

You need to set the +net_public_adr <ipaddress> variable in your startup script. 

Typically when you create the server in the csgo\cfg directory you would add a file called 'server.cfg' or 'autoexec.cfg' and then in there you would add all your variables (e.g hostname, rcon, ip, port, starting map, maps in rotation, max players, sv_lan, etc....

 

Be surprised if you need to set that though since the server should still be listening on your local IP address.

I tried that command in the launch.bat.

The server still chose the unreachable non VPN ip.

 

I also tried it with a disabled firewall.
