Hi,

I have set up a Counter-Strike 1.6 server on my VPS, but I am facing an issue where the server does not show up in my Favorites in CS 1.6. Despite following all necessary steps, such as ensuring the correct configuration, opening ports, and making sure everything is correctly set up on my VPS, the server is still not visible.

Here are the steps I have already taken:

Configured the server.cfg file correctly with the right IP and port.
Opened port 27015 in the firewall and verified the inbound rules in the security group for my VPS (if using AWS or a similar provider).
Tried to manually add the server to my favorites by entering the public IP and port.
Made sure the server is sending a heartbeat to Steam's master server with the correct sv_master1 value (sv_master1 "80.242.211.26").
Restarted the server multiple times.
Even though I’ve done all of this, the server still doesn't appear under Favorites in CS 1.6. I have tried asking friends to check if they can see it, but they cannot either.

Could you please assist me in identifying any possible network issues or misconfigurations that could be causing this?

Best regards,
Elijon Nikoliqi
