Optional Ports [#optional-ports]

| Port  | Protocol | Purpose           | Enabled by            |

Why Port 27015 Matters [#why-port-27015-matters]

Port 27015 is required for your server to appear in the **community server browser**. Without it, console players (Xbox/PS5) cannot find your server. If your server doesn't show up in the browser, this port is usually the reason.
