        What does not work? What error? Does the server show a client connecting in the log?
        Does TCPdump show the packet being forwarded? Did you enable static ports (as in the sticky above)?

        We do what we must, because we can.

            Once your ports are forwarded, make sure you use static ports in Advanced Outbound NAT.

              This sounds like a missconfiguration of the server.
              Did you actually set it up to register on the master list?

              If you could post the output of the serverlog here someone (me?) might be able to help you.
              Although this is more a question for one of the countless Half Life 2 modding scene forums and less for the pfSense forum.

              (Also it would help if you answer my previous questions)

              • Did you enable static ports (as in the sticky above)?
              • Does the server show a client connecting in the log?
              • If you connect with a client what error do you get?
              • Does TCPdump show any packets destined for the server?
              • Does your serverlog show anything like this:

              Console initialized.
              ….
              Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27011
              Adding master server 68.142.72.250:27011
              Connection to Steam servers successful.
              VAC secure mode is activated.

              • Did you actually forward all the ports the srcds requires?

              UDP 1200
              UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive
              TCP 27030 to 27039 inclusive
