TF2 Server (kinda?) works but I can't connect

I have installed the server by the guide from tf2 wiki on my second pc (debian 12) that I use as a dedicated server, but I can't connect neither using LAN in server browser, nor through

connect [local server IP]:27015/27005

I think the server starts but I can't connect because of closed ports or something. Server start log: https://pastebin.com/ThAHTjt8

if you enter the command status on the game-server console, what does it say?

PS: You need to specify a starting "map" also. There are two different ways to do that:

add "+map mapname" into the command-line you use to start the server. Where "mapname" of course is the name of whatever map you want it to start with - example: + map ctf_2fort. ... or ...
Create plain-text file under the tf/cfg folder named autoexec.cfg. You can put various start-up options inside there. You can put the +map mapname command in the tf/cfg/autoexec.cfg file, but if you do so - it must be the last line in the file.
