Sons of the Forest server status checker

Sons of the Forest uses Steam networking, so the ports involved are the Steam ones rather than a single obvious game port.

Check Sons of the Forest Server

Enter the IP address of the server to ping it.

Which ports a Sons of the Forest server needs

The server needs its game port plus a Steam query port, both UDP, and they are in different ranges. The query port is what this tool reads. Dedicated server documentation lists both; forwarding only the first is the common error.

If it still shows offline

If both are open and the query fails, check that the server is running in dedicated mode with a valid save selected. A server that fails to load its save can stay running as a process without ever becoming queryable.
