That's a crazy number of ports to have open for a Source dedicated
server. These are the ports I have open through my firewall, and my
server works just fine:
TCP 27015-27022 (rcon ports of the forks)
UDP 1200 (Steam friends service)
UDP 27000-27022 (Steam ports and listen ports of the forks)
Also, I've allowed incoming traffic for ICMP types 8 (echo-request), 0
(echo-reply), 3 (destination-unreachable), and 11 (time-exceeded).
Basically, you just need to have the TCP rcon ports open, UDP 1200, and
UDP 27000 through the highest listen port you are using (given it is in
the standard range).
