# How To Connect To Arma Reforger Server

Whether you're setting up your own server or joining one hosted by a friend, Arma Reforger makes it pretty easy to connect once you know where to look. Follow these steps to get in-game fast on your Arma Reforger server. 

## **1. Find Your Server IP**

Log into your Apollo Panel and go to your Arma Reforger service. You'll see the IP address and port listed on the main server page. Copy both as you'll need them for the direct connection method.

## **2. Launch Arma Reforger**

Open Arma Reforger through Steam. Wait until you reach the main menu.

## **3. Go to the Server Browser**

From the main menu, click on **Multiplayer**. This takes you to the full server list and search menu.

## **4. Direct Join Option**

Once you're in the Multiplayer menu, press V on your keyboard to bring up the Direct Connect popup.\
Enter the IP and port of your server as shown in your panel. Then click Connect to join directly.

## **5. Search for the Server Name Instead (Optional)**

If you set a name for your server in the server's startup parameters, you don’t need to use the IP. Instead, go to the search bar at the top of the server browser and type in the name of your server. Once it shows up in the list, click on it and hit **Join**.
