The Source Dedicated Server or SRCDS is a tool that runs the server component of a Source game without the client component. In other words, it simulates the game without drawing it. SRCDS is chiefly used by server providers who want to serve up as many games from the same computer as they can.

Connectivity

The ports SRCDS officially uses are:

  • 27015 TCP/UDP (game transmission, pings and RCON)
  • 27020 UDP (SourceTV transmission)

SRCDS has also been spotted opening connections on 27005 and 51840 UDP, but these may be outbound only.

Installation

See SteamCMD for most games. See HLDSUpdateTool for games that haven't been updated in a long time.
