Tools / Port checker / 27015

Is port 27015 open?

Port 27015 is Steam / Source game servers. Enter your server below to test it from Dallas, Amsterdam and London.

What port 27015 is used for

Default for Source engine game servers such as Counter-Strike, Garry's Mod and Team Fortress 2, including RCON over TCP.

Should port 27015 be open?

Normal to open to the internet. Set a strong RCON password or disable RCON; game traffic itself is mostly UDP on the same port.

How to open port 27015

Ubuntu or Debian with ufw:

sudo ufw allow 27015/tcp

Rocky, Alma or CentOS with firewalld:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=27015/tcp && sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Windows Server, in PowerShell as administrator:

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Port 27015" -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 27015 -Action Allow

Then check that the service listens on all addresses, not only 127.0.0.1, and test again above.
