Server notes
Dedicated server appid 581330 is Linux only (appinfo oslist=linux), client appid 581320 is Windows only. Running a server needs both GSLT and GSLTT tokens. RCON port 27015/TCP comes from AMP ports.json and is not forwarded by default. Config changes require a server restart. Official documentation at insurgency.fandom.com was unreachable this round (000); all facts come from AMP templates and LinuxGSM configs.
