How to join a Don't Starve Together dedicated server

In Don't Starve Together, choose Browse Games and search the server's name. To join by address instead, open the console and type c_connect("address", port) with the Server Address from HaruHost's Details tab.

Join by address

  1. Open the server in HaruHost and go to its Details tab.
  2. Copy the Server Address (address and port) and send it to your friends, with the password if you set one.
  3. In Don't Starve Together, your friends open the console and type c_connect("address", port), or find the server by name in Browse Games.

Joining from the same house

Many home routers can't reach their own public address, so when you host on your own address, the PC next to the server can't join with the address you send friends. The Details tab lists a separate Local Address for players on the same network; it works on Windows and for servers without the Tunnel.

Friends without port forwarding

With the Tunnel on, the Server Address goes through HaruHost's relay, so friends join without any router setup. See hosting without port forwarding.

Questions

Where do I find my Don't Starve Together server's address?

On the server's Details tab in HaruHost, in the app or the web panel. The Local Address there is for players on your own network, on Windows or without the Tunnel.
