How to join a Project Zomboid dedicated server

In Project Zomboid, choose Join, add the server to Favorites with the IP and port from HaruHost's Details tab, then enter a username and password for this server and join.

Step by step

  1. In HaruHost, copy the server's address from the Details tab.
  2. In Project Zomboid, choose Join, then the Favorites tab.
  3. Enter the IP and port, and the server password if it has one.
  4. Pick a username and an account password for this server. Use the same ones each time you join.
  5. Add the server to Favorites and join.

With the Tunnel

The Details tab shows the Tunnel's address instead. Friends add that one the same way, with no router setup on your side; see hosting without port forwarding.

From the same house

Players on the same network as the server use its Local Address, on the Details tab, on Windows or when the server runs without the Tunnel.

Questions

Why does it say my password is wrong?

The account password is set the first time a player joins with that username. Use the same one again, or ask an admin to reset the account.

Can I list the server publicly?

Turn on Public in Server Settings and give it a Public Name; it then shows in the in-game server list.
