How can I show my Counter-Strike server in the "find servers" list?

I bought Counter-Strike (the original) from Steam, downloaded the game and opened it.

After doing so, I clicked on "Find Servers" and saw some listed servers there. I want to list my server here. I made a CS 1.6 server on my Cloud Server. How can I show my server on the Internet list on server explorer in the game?


Just make sure it's set up properly and you'll find it. Start a search for your server IP and you should eventually find your server. If not, read on...

Check/edit your server.cfg

  • sv_lan 0
  • sv_region [0-7 or 255] (see here for details)

Remove bad stuff

  • Bots
  • Fake Spectators
  • ...

Ports

  • make sure port 27015 (TCP and UDP) is forwarded correctly
