Using Valheim as an example.
When starting server. I get
Session "Server Name" with join code 1234 and IP public:27001 is active

The "Address" box in the panel shows play.domain.com:27001

I can connect with the join code and publicIP:port but cannot connect with play.domain.com:port

The way I have my minecraft servers setup is that the DNS provides the IP of a VPS. The VPS forwards the connection to my public IP. Then I have firewall rules setup to only open ports coming from that VPS IP. This means that I can connect to my Minecraft server with play.domain.com:port but it blocks connection from PublicIP:port and VPSIP:port

How can I set Valheim or other steam servers to act the same way? I tried checking/unchecking "Force Outgoing IP" in the Egg settings. No luck.

Is the A record for that subdomain pointing towards that wan ip?

A record points towards my VPS IP that sends it to my WAN IP.

I have no issues connecting with Minecraft or other games using the same A record

You should have both A record and SRV record for this

#

Checked on google seems like Valheim don’t support this

This indicates I can setup a SRV record,

but that doesn't help as I need to be able to auto assign my ports and have more than one server

How my bad I saw that wasn’t possible

#

Well then allocate the ports on the panel and then add srv and a record as you need them

Not going to work. I'm hosting using a front end and will have users creating accounts and then servers. I need an automated solution.

#

Well you need to create youre own solution for this then

#

closed sources for this mostly

It "technically works" I'm just trying to remove my public IP as the connection point the same way I do with Minecraft. Currently players can create servers using the front end, and the server will assign a port from my pool. It just requires they connect with my WAN and not the solution I've set up

#

I'm not sure if it's the EGG or how SteamCMD is installed that opens a connection strait to my WAN IP.

The only thing I can think of is that it's using some sort of tunnel to connect and bypassing my firewall as it shouldn't be able to connect to that port directly

Not sure if it will help you but i use a reverse proxy to balance everything to my backend

#

everything is aimed to my proxy and then it proxy everything on the right ports
