    Ok ! thank you for the help !
    Im sure I've messed it up even more now !
    Im happy to wipe it all and start again ..

    No rush ...

    what's strange is it all worked for years no probs ..lol
    The router had an update & that's when it stopped working with rf2 , the steam only change might have something to do with it to as I didn't have those port numbers ..

    Client side everything's fine with all games

    I spoke too soon ... doing the loopback workaround lets me connect to my own server, but apparently, nobody else can even see it.
    And despite, my server being visible on https://world.rfactor.net/server-list without the loopback, I cannot see it in rF2's server browser.

    Yes ..
    The prob seems to be: ever since the router's Firmware Version update something's blocking my rf2

    In your screenshot of your router it is not clear if you are selecting UDP or TCP on the rF2 ports.
    What is your router make and model ?

    @kro388th are you now 100% sure that you Windows firewall is not blocking dedicated server. If you not check your Windows firewall first and open all ports rFactor2 and dedicated server are using. It is not vise to mess with your router before.

    Yes I thought this could be an issue so I went and tested and some of the ports are not open using PFPortChecker so I made some rules , but some how I think these ports are still not open .. Im not skilled in this network stuff Im a drummer ! lol Inbound rules is all I messed with ...>

    rf2t1 &rf2t2 are simply more attemps to open them ..

    Ok when I test my steam port 54298 it say's it cant connect TCP,but if I check UDP it says its open , I built a rule in wfw for this port to be open under TCP , but its not open ..so I think Im narrowing it down , (also I changed both number to match in the router )54298..
