have you specified a port in that file ?

my beserver.cfg
RConPort 2301
RConPassword 123456
MaxPing 500

i have port forwarded port 2301 tcp and udp in router.
beserver.cfg resides in ./serverfiles/battleye (with chmod 775)
my arma3server script battleye entry is

# Path to BattlEye
# leave empty for default
bepath=""

i would leave bepath=""
restart server and see how that goes ? i did have issues when specifying a path in that value.
as long as you place beserver.cfg in /home/arma3server/serverfiles/battleye/

it seems that is a security measure, the battleye client adds random letters to it as an anti-hack measure,
what it does show is that battle eye is reading the file :)

when the server is stopped you can safely rename it back to beserver.cfg make any changes. and once the server starts again, you'll notice the file is then renamed to beserver_active_xxxxxxxx.cfg.

are you hosting from home or a dedicated ? as you may have to have the port forwarded ?

not sure about hosted setups, sorry, i use a dedicated linux machine on my local network with ports forwarded through my router so it can be connected to from the outside,
my local address for server is 192.168.1.118 and it appears in the server browser as 211.28.215.135

did OVH have to open your UDP ports 2302,2303,2304,2305 ? if they did, you will have to ask them to open 2301 (or whatever port you specify in beserver.cfg) on both TCP and UDP. battleye uses TCP and UDP as far as i can tell.. whereas arma3 server uses UDP only

could you post your beserver.cfg (overwrite your password)

from the screen shot i am guessing that 53434 is your battleye port maybe

since v1.58 as per bohemia...
RconPort must avoid reserved ARMA3server port range (gameport *+0,+1,+2,+3))
default reserved ports are 2302 - 2305 (to clarify the reserved ports can't be used for BattlEye's RCON).
example for default server setting, RconPort 2301
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye#RCon

i fell into the same trap from the old way of connecting when you did indeed use the game port 2302

If you got an OVH "Game" series server, make sure your OVH firewall (not iptables) doesn't block those ports.
