I recently played on a server on gmod that I really enjoyed, and I cant find it in my history. Can anybody explain why? I dont think the server shut down because I couldn't find it in the legacy browser while I was in the server…
Why can’t I find the server I just previously played on in gmod

If your server status give a 192.168.X.X ip then you are hosting a lan server.
Try to open console and use sv_lan 0 command (if you want to host over the internet) else sv_lan 1 for lan server.
If you host an internet server you can look for your external ip here. Thats the one your friends have to connect to.
Your port forwarding looks correct. You configured that the ports 27000-27015 are forwarded to the computer with the 192.168.x.x ip adress in your local network. However this 192.168.x.x has to be your local ip.
To see your local ip adress press the windows button or click on the start button (in your windows taskbar) and type cmd and press enter so a commandline will open. There you have to type ipconfig /all which gives you several network information. The important part is red marked (it's a german cmd here) the marked ip is the one you've to forward to.
Attention!
If you have a dynamic ip it is possible that your local ip change after you restart your computer which means that you would have to change the port forward to your current ip so better use a static local ip if your work with port forwarding.
I am unsure what the cause of the "unable to connect" problem was, but I have updated my TF2 dedicated server files and now the console does show text once it has started and I, and my friends from their own houses, can connect. I do know, however, the reason that the server was crashing on startup. I was attempting to start the server on a MVM map, none of which are shown on the in-game level voting.
Thank you to those who have read and devoted some of your time to try help me solve this problem, even though it was not a problem we could have solved.

This is maybe a bug or the server is located somewhere else. People also have problems to find the favorites on the new GMOD server searcher.
Click on "Old Serverbrowser" and then open up history, you should find the servers you currently played on. Maybe you also see servers from other games too.
