Which ports do you have to enable in router for TF2, so I can make my own server???

TF2 uses the following: (easily found if you would have bothered to use the search button)

UDP 27015 - Main connection port. This is the port and protocol used by the server browser, allows clients to connect.

TCP 27015 - This port is used for RCON such as with SourceBans (if needed).

UDP 27020 - SourceTV (if enabled). You can disable this port by adding "-nohltv" to the start up command.

UDP 27005 - This is an outgoing connection used by clients. Typically you would not need to open this port in your firewall because this is for OUTBOUND connections. Port forwarding is usually only required for INBOUND connections. If you're not sure if you need this, you DON'T. People who need to open this will already know that they do because they very specifically configured their firewall to restrict outbound traffic.
