Setting up a CS: Source server to be accessible from the internet

I am trying to set up a Counter-Strike: Source server so that I can play online with my friends. The server is simply a Windows 10 Desktop PC.

I followed the instructions using steam.cmd, as per here and here.

Now, when I execute C:\steamcmd\css\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -insecure +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust2, a window opens and the following is displayed:

66.7 fps 0/16 on map de_dust2 Console initialized. Using Breakpad minidump system. Version: 5394425 AppID: 232330 Loaded 1335 VPK file hashes from C:\steamcmd\css\cstrike\cstrike_pak.vpk for pure server operation.

Server is hibernating Connection to Steam servers successful. Public IP is 87.XX.XXX.XX. Assigned anonymous gameserver Steam ID [A:1:3375420425:14562]. VAC secure mode disabled. 

In particular, sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg not present; not executing. intrigues me (line 6 from the bottom).

Does this mean the server is not running?

When I open the game and search for the server using the indicated public IP and the ports 27015, 27005 etc., it says: "Server is not responding". On my router, I opened ports 26900 - 27020, which should cover the necessary range as per here.

When connecting using the PC's local IP, the server is found in the server list.
