This guide explains how to join your s&box server. Connecting is quick and can be done through the in-game server browser using your server's hostname.


#Finding your Server Hostname

Your server hostname is the name displayed in the server browser. To find it:

  1. Log in to your Control Panel and navigate to the Config tab.
  2. Locate the Hostname field - this is the name you'll use to search for your server in-game.

For more information on setting your hostname, see How to Change the Hostname on your s&box Server.


#Joining via the In-Game Server Browser

  1. Open s&box and navigate to the Servers tab.
  2. Type your server hostname into the search bar to filter the server list.
  3. Enable Show Empty to make your server visible if no players are connected.
  4. Click the Play button on the right side of your server to join.

s&box will automatically download and load everything required to run the game on your client.
