the steam support board says you need to open ports 27000 - 27015 tcp, 27020 - 27039 udp and 1200 udp for steam friends. I open atleast the first to ranges as i have had similar problems in the past with hlds and srcds when these ports are not open.
Some people here would probably call me a fool for opening these ports as it is a security risk but tbh honest it solves a problem and i have never seen an attempted hack on them.
