Connecting to Your Server

Your game client connects directly to the node running your server — the panel is for management, not for play.

Find your address

1. Open your server and look at the header: it shows the primary allocation (IP + port).
2. Additional allocations are listed under Networking (or Settings, depending on your permissions).
3. The address players use is usually IP:port, for example 203.0.113.10:25565.

Some hosts put a reverse proxy or custom hostname in front of game ports. If your host gave you a hostname such as play.example.com, use that instead of the raw IP.

Connect from the game

• Minecraft (Java): Multiplayer → Add Server → paste the address.
• Minecraft (Bedrock): Play → Servers → Add Server (check the port — Bedrock defaults differ from Java).
• Other games: use the address shown in the server header with the game’s normal server browser or connect command.

If you cannot connect

1. Confirm the server is running (green status in the console header).
2. Confirm you are using the right IP and port.
3. Check the console for errors during startup — a crashed server accepts no connections.
4. See server issues and networking issues.
