How to Join a Squad Server
Connect to your Squad server through the in-game browser or by direct IP.
1. Find Your Server Address
- Open your server in the panel and look at the Address card on the right of the Console tab (for example
169.58.71.35:25565). - The part before the colon is the IP; the part after is the Port. Always use these — never Squad's default port, because every server gets its own assigned port.
2. Join via the Server Browser (recommended)
- Launch Squad.
- Open the Server Browser and switch to the Custom tab.
- Type your server name in the search bar, select it, and click Join.
> A new server shows up in the Custom tab automatically once it finishes starting. To also appear in the official server list, the server needs a free Offworld license — see Squad Server Visibility & Listing.
3. Join via Direct Connect
- In the Squad main menu, press the tilde key (~) to open the console.
- Type
