Introduction

Not sure how to connect to your Afterinfection server on your VPS or what you need to get started? No worries—we’ll show you step by step which details you need and how to connect. We’ll also share some tips in case it doesn’t work right away.

Find your server details

You’ll need the following details to connect:

IP address: The IP address of your VPS. You can find it in the Overview of your VPS in the ZapX dashboard.
Port: The port your server is running on. No official default port is documented, but server operators usually specify 2222.
Server name: The name of your server in the server list.
Server password: If you’ve set one.

Connect to the server

There are often several ways to connect to a game server. The available methods are described in detail below.

To connect using the in-game server browser, launch the game and go to Multiplayer. You can search for your server in the server list by its name.

Instead of searching for your server in the list, you can also connect directly. You’ll find this option in the bottom-left corner of Multiplayer. Simply enter your server’s IP address and port, then click Join.

Common issues and solutions

Server is not visible or reachable

Server is not running: Use Remote Desktop to check whether the server is running and restart it if necessary. Any errors will appear in the server window.
Steam is not running: Based on community reports, the server only appears in the server list if Steam is running on the VPS.
Ports are not open: Your server’s ports must be open in the Windows Firewall and in your VPS’s Network Firewall. Learn more in Afterinfection: Set up a server on your VPS.
Incorrect filters: Check whether a filter in the server list is hiding your server. Connecting directly via IP and port works regardless of filters.
