Hello All!
I'm attempting to lock my server down, I installed the firewall software "apf". I opened the two official dedicated server ports (27015 and 27020) on the inbound and outbound interfaces.
The server is able to start (with the -nomaster parameter) and clients can connect to an extent (until the -nomaster causes their Steam IDs to be rejected). The "steam" update tool will not run with the firewall enabled either.
Running a "netstat" with the firewall enabled shows the update tool as trying to go outbound on a randomly number port. I have been unable to determine the behavior of the master server connections yet.
Is there an IP range or hostname which I can just place in the "allow_hosts.rules" file in order to run the firewall and allow the game server to function normally?
Thanks!
