Okej, so Ive signed up for Azure and setup a VM server, and I can succesfully run the server executable, but again nothing shows up when searching for games ☹

I even got steam running on the server aswell.  
I have added all related steam and UE4 endpoints, and configured the firewall, even tried turning the firewall off.

what create server node do you refere to? there are no nodes in the dedicated server build executable, it just shows a log window and launches the server by it self.
