How to Connect to Your Rust Server

To get started, you need to identify the address of the server you want to join. If you own a EUGameHost Rust Server, you can find your server's address in our Control Panel. This will be labeled as ‘Connection Info’, as shown in the screenshot below.

In the example above, the server address is 123.456.78.9:28015. Breaking this down, the Server IP is the set of numbers before the colon :, and after this symbol are the last five numbers, which represent the Server Port.

Connecting Using Rust's In-Game Console

Once Rust has launched, hit the F1 key to open the game console. Make sure that CONSOLE is selected in the top left of your screen.

With your server's address, type the command client.connect <IP:port>. Then hit Enter.
