Valheim server guide

How to join a Valheim dedicated server

In Valheim, choose your character, open Join Game, press Add server and enter the server's address and port. HaruHost shows the address and password to send your friends on the server'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 the password, and send them to your friends.
  3. In Valheim, your friends choose a character, open Join Game, press Add server and paste the address.
  4. Valheim asks for the password when they connect.

Joining from the same house

Many home routers can't reach their own public address, so the PC next to the server can't join with the address you send friends. The Details tab shows a separate Local Address under Advanced, for players on the same network.

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 Valheim server's address?

On the server's Details tab in HaruHost, in the app or the web panel, with the Local Address for your own network under Advanced.

Why can't I join my own Valheim server by its address?

Many home routers don't let a PC inside the house reach the house's public address. Use the Local Address from the Details tab instead.
