Can anyone with experience creating a plutonium black ops 2 server take a look at this? Ive spent some considerable time, but I cant get the server working. I have port forwarded, created appropriate firewall rules, tested with a disabled firewall on my pc, followed the relevant guides, etc:

Still cant get my server to work 🤯

Those port test sites can only test TCP ports and CoD only uses UDP.
Only real way to test it is trying to connect to it / query it with a different connection.

Xerxes Wow good point. Cant connect using the plutonium console and also no sign of the server in the list.

You are hosting at home and trying to connect from the same network?

Then your router probably lacks NAT-Loopback which would allow you to connect to self hosted services from your LAN.
If you start the server and tell me the server name I can take a look at the server list.

Sure, i'll leave it running:
the name is,

Thanks a lot!

Seems like your set-up is correct.
