Check if your Counter-Strike 2 server is online

Counter-Strike servers speak the Source query protocol by default, so when a check fails the network is normally to blame rather than your config.

Check Counter-Strike 2 Server

Type the server's address to query it.

The ports Counter-Strike 2 uses

Queries share the game port over UDP, so there is no second port to forget — the mistake that trips up most other games does not exist here. Reachable and listed are not the same thing, however: to show in the community browser you also need a valid game server login token linked to your Steam account.

Still offline? Try this

When the query replies but the server is nowhere in the browser, it is the token you need to look at; ports are fine. When the query gets no reply, check your UDP rule and confirm the map actually loaded.

Rather not run the server yourself?

These tools are free and funded by the two hosting services we run. If you want a server that is already set up, here they are.
