Total newbie to hosting servers.
I cant seem to see/join my own server but my friends can. I also cant join them through the overlay (it will say joining game session but doesnt do anything)

here's what i did for porting forward
Im running bo2 and hosting on the same pc

Thanks!

edbert if your friends can see and join the server it's set up correctly, the fact that you can't see it means your router doesn't support wan loopback.
Connect to your server manually via the console using your pc's lan ip:

connect 192.168.x.x:4977
