How to Connect to Your Enshrouded Server

Connecting to your GuavaHost Enshrouded server takes just the server address from the top of your server page and a quick trip through the game's co-op menu.

Find your connect address

Sign in at customer.guavahost.com, open My servers and click Manage on your Enshrouded server. Your IP and port sit at the very top of the server page, next to a copy button, and together they make up your connect address. Because every GuavaHost server has instant setup, it is live within seconds of ordering, so your address works straight away.

Behind the scenes, Enshrouded uses two UDP ports (UDP is the quick, lightweight way games send data over the internet). The game port is 15636 by default and the query port is 15637. GuavaHost opens both for you automatically, so you almost never need to think about them. If you ever want to review them, they are listed in the Ports & network card on the Overview tab.

Join from inside Enshrouded

1. Launch Enshrouded and pick Play from the main menu.
2. Open the online server browser (the co-op server list).
3. In the search box, type your server name. This is the name value from your enshrouded_server.json, so if you renamed the server, search for the new name.
4. Select your server in the results and click Join.
5. If a role password is set, type it when the game asks.

Once you have found your server, favourite it so it sits at the top of the list next time and saves you searching again.

What to share with friends

Your friends do not need your whole panel, only two things: the server name to search for (or the IP and game port if their menu lets them connect directly) and the role password you want them to use. That keeps your admin login private while still letting people in.

Passwords and roles

Enshrouded sorts players into roles such as Admin, Friend and Guest, and each role can carry its own password. The password a player enters decides what they can do, like editing the base or kicking others. Hand the right password to the right people. You can set these in Startup settings on the Settings tab or by editing enshrouded_server.json on the Files tab. Our Enshrouded server settings guide walks through every option.

If it will not connect

• Give it a moment after any restart. Watch the Console tab until the server reports that it is online and ready before you try to join.
• Match your game version to the server. Enshrouded refuses connections between mismatched versions, so if a big patch just landed, update your client and check the server version in Startup settings on the Settings tab.
• Copy the address exactly, with no stray spaces at either end.
• Still not appearing in the browser? Our "Enshrouded server not showing" guide covers the deeper fixes.
