The Counter-Strike game provides the ability to create your own game server. Players around the world will be able to connect to your server and participate in games on a par with local players. To do this, your server must be visible not only on your home network, but also on the Internet.

Instructions
Step 1
Disable the Windows operating system firewall (this can be done in the control panel) and the firewall software if you are using. Check if the connection is blocked by your antivirus - for this you need to check the built-in firewall. As a rule, many programs that scan network traffic block various extraneous connections, which often contain exactly those connections that are created by the user and are completely safe.
Step 2
Make a permanent external ip-address for the server. To do this, you need to contact your provider - some provider organizations provide such services for money (for some, unfortunately, the allocation of a static address is not provided even for money). As a rule, before choosing a particular hosting, you need to carefully study all the services that are provided, as well as prices.
Step 3
In the steam.inf settings file, write the following lines: PatchVersion = 1.6.3.7ProductName = cstrike Naturally, if you have a different version of the patch, specify yours.
Step 4
Register in the server settings of the master server. To do this, add lines to the end of the server.cfg file containing the setmaster add command, as well as the ip-address and port of the official server. You can find the list and parameters of master servers on the Internet at thematic forums dedicated to Counter-Strike.
Step 5
It should be noted that the version of the patch also affects your visibility on the network: external players with an older version will not see the server, so you need to carefully consider this point. Often times, servers are down for this very reason. The sv_lan 0 parameter must also be specified in your server's startup parameters. For more detailed instructions, see the forums using a search engine.
