UDP 27018
Synopsis
- Valve Steam/Source-engine traffic uses UDP ports 27000–27100, so UDP 27018 is legitimately used by Steam clients and servers.
- Source Dedicated Server (SRCDS) games—such as Counter-Strike 2/CS:GO, Team Fortress 2, Garry’s Mod, and many other Steam-based titles—often bind/query on UDP 27018 when multiple servers run on the same host (ports typically increment from 27015 upward).
- Rust and other Steamworks-powered games may also use UDP 27018 for server query/game traffic within this range.
- Steamworks/Steam Datagram Relay (SDR) and matchmaking can traverse UDP 27018 as part of the 27000–27100 range.
- These UDP game ports are frequent targets for DDoS attacks against public game servers.
