Hosting with Paid Service
Hosting on a VPS or Game Server Host
Check our hosting page for a list of supported game server hosting services.
Ports will probably not need to be opened in your hosting package.
To join the game, either use the IP address assigned to your hosting package, or click on the server in the server list before launching (if <serverbrowser> is true in server config).
Hosting from Home
GTA Connected currently doesn't support IPv6, so first of all make sure that your ISP assigns you an IPv4 address. (Search Google for: What is my IP v4 address?)
Note that if your network is only assigned an IPv6 address, you may still be able to host a server using a reverse proxy.
Player computer is Server computer
To join the game from server computer, use 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
- The server will likely not be shown in the server list.
- Router ports do not need to be open.
- Antivirus exclusions probably do not need to be added.
1+ Players on same network as Server
To join the game on same network, use the IP address assigned to the server's computer. See the #Find IP address assigned to Computer section below.
- The server will likely not be shown in the server list.
- Router ports probably do not need to be open.
- Antivirus exclusions may need to be added.
1+ Players on different network than Server
To join the game on different network, either use the IP address assigned to the server's network. See the #Find IP address assigned to Network section below, or click on the server in the server list before launching (if serverbrowser is true in server.xml).
Router ports do need to be open.
Antivirus exclusions may need to be added.
Joining a Server not in the Server List
Open the GTA Connected launcher.
- Unselect any selected server (if applicable).

Find IP address assigned to Network
This IP is sometimes referred to as an external, WAN, or public IP.
On the computer which you want to know the external IP address for:
