Hey there, I deleted the image because it had your RAT token listed in it.

That is a basically a key to your server so you shouldn't publicly share it.

I have a few questions that may help you out.

1. Is this a local install?
2. Do you have the latest Allocs Server Fixes installed?
3. Do you have the web dashboard enabled in the serverconfig.xml?

Did you open the port in your router?
I see it as closed using a port checker.

very odd.. ive checked several ports.. and the only ones which are open are 27015 and 27018.. and im pretty sure ive forwarded all the ports it needs. ill check the w.firewall again. ive forwarded 7777,8080-8100,9000-10000,27015-27020.. but they are running trough a firewall. im running Unifi hardware

only thing i can do is forward all the ports i want.. and open them in w.firewall.. i open 7777,8080-8100,9000-10000,27015-27020 to my local ip of my machine.. and forwarded all those ports in windows.

earlier i was using haruhost (a small server tool) and used 9060 and saw that one being open. but after i closed that tool and set the port on RAT it showed up closed :S
 
Why are you opening so many ports?

How may servers do you have going?

i was testing things.. and in the past i was running about 5 or 6 game servers on a separate dedicated server

ive opened only the ports i need and 2 out of 3 are open. the web api port wont open ..:S like its not giving any signal to the outside.

also getting this

2024-04-23 21:35:45 - Error getting response from WebAPI, common causes are that the game server has not fully started yet, your telnet connect is not connected, or an invalid webtoken. RAT will retry again in 60 seconds, if this error continues, make sure you have configured the Web Dashboard settings correctly. - De externe server heeft een fout geretourneerd: (426) Upgrade Required.

Okay, the only ports I would open up for a single server in your router is the base game port, base +3 and the web dashboard port.

For instance...
26900 TCP
26900-26903 UDP
26906 TCP

I go in blocks of 10
In your situation, I would only port forward what I have labeled below.
Base Port26900 TCPPort Forward
Base Port +326900-26903 UDPPort Forward
Telnet26905 TCP
Web Dashboard26906 TCPPort Forward
CPM (If used)26908 TCP

This is normal until you get your web dashboard going.
 
One more question, is RAT on the same machine as the server?

Can you login to the server?
If you can, can you type version in the F1 console?

Okay, that is all the latest.

You have the web dashboard enabled?

XML: 
<property name="WebDashboardEnabled"            value="true"/>
<property name="WebDashboardPort"               value="yourWebdashboardPort"/>
<property name="WebDashboardUrl"                value=""/>
<property name="EnableMapRendering"             value="true"/>
