There are two ways to connect to an Unturned Server.
| Connect |
Server Browser |
| Manually enter a server's connection details. | Find server |
The method which you canchoose really doesn't matter much, but it's probably best to use the Connect Directly option where you manually enter server connection details, such as IP and Port. Unturned's server browser is "easier" to use but it has a rather complex filtering system that will not show our servers when the default filters are used, meaning you must configure them in order to see our server. For this reason alone, we recommend using Connect Directly at least foron your initial connection toand then the Server Browser for subsequent connections.
