Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) can sometimes cause connectivity issues with CS2 servers. The first thing to try is disabling Cloudflare WARP if you have it enabled - Cloudflare DNS is usually fine but WARP can interfere. If that doesn't work, try switching to your ISP's default DNS or Google DNS (8.8.8.8) for better compatibility.
