Once your Barotrauma server is configured the way you would like it, you're ready to connect to your server. Barotrauma servers allow players to join via Direct Connect, or through the in-game server list.

Obtaining your Server IP

In order to connect to your server using direct connect, you will need to know both the server IP and port. These can both be found in your server's control panel.

Once logged in, you will be able to find your server's IP and port next to IP Address.
