There's a setting in Steam to show you as online or offline. I forget exactly where it's located.

Click on the Steam button that is at the top of the window on Windows or at the top bar thing on Mac. Then click Online Mode.

Try to forward the ports that it specifies in this support article: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711

Required Ports for Steam

Which ports do I need to open on my router or firewall 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

Dedicated or Listen Servers

• TCP 27015 (SRCDS Rcon port)

Steamworks P2P Networking and Steam Voice Chat

• UDP 3478 (Outbound)
• UDP 4379 (Outbound)
• UDP 4380 (Outbound)

Note:

Many university networks and proxies block required ports for Steam operation - please consult your network administrator to ensure the required ports are open if you are using a university network or a proxy. Ports required for Steam can not be re-mapped to HTTP or reconfigured to a custom port range.

Advanced

For generic Steam HTTP/HTTPS requests, your proxy should allow the following domains:

• steampowered.com
• steamcommunity.com
• steamgames.com
• steamusercontent.com
• steamcontent.com
• steamstatic.com
• akamaihd.net

Most of the non-web traffic is usually UDP but can be TCP as well. For that, the IPs will all be from the Valve network (AS32590), and a list of those IP blocks can be found here:

• IPv4
• IPv6
