Did you try launching a server from MP Lobby?

yeah sometimes it appears and my friend can join other time it wont even show up, or he gets timed out. I give up

Steam FAQ tells it needs much more ports open. I just open all ports for both Steam and Launcher both for incoming and outgoing connections in my firewall to be visible in MP browser.

Ataros -

Are you opening both UDP and TCP ports for launcher.exe and steam.exe ?

Yes, I opened everything just in case (created new profiles in firewall). However I do not run dedicated server just host a server on my gaming machine sometimes and it shows in Steam in 1-2 minutes.
