Find a Server IP and Port

You need a server's IP address and port to join it directly, add it to your favourites or list it on a server tracker. Here is how to find them for the most popular games, as a player and as a server owner.

As a player

  • From a server list. Every server page on GTScope shows the address to copy, as IP:port.
  • CS 1.6 and CS2: while connected, type status in the console. The server address is in the output.
  • Steam games: in the Steam server browser, right-click a server and choose View server info.
  • FiveM: servers usually share a cfx.re/join/… link; the code works just like an address.
  • TeamSpeak 3: the address is in your bookmarks, or in Connection info while you are connected.

As a server owner

  • Your hosting panel shows the public IP and port of every server.
  • CS 1.6 / CS2: the +ip and -port (or +port) launch options, or status in the server console.
  • FiveM: the endpoint_add_tcp and endpoint_add_udp lines in server.cfg.
  • Rust: the +server.port and +server.queryport launch options.
  • TeamSpeak 3: default_voice_port and query_port in ts3server.ini.

Use the public IP, not a local one. Addresses that start with 192.168., 10. or 172.16–31. only work inside your own network, and server lists can't reach them.

Game port vs query port

The game port is where players connect. The query port is where trackers and server browsers ask for the status, map and players. In CS 1.6 and CS2 they are the same port. In Rust and TeamSpeak 3 they are different, and a closed query port is the most common reason a server shows as offline on trackers while people can still play. See how to check a game server status.

FAQ

Questions and answers

How do I find the IP address of a game server?

Look it up on a server list like GTScope, which shows the IP and port of every server, or type status in the console while connected (CS 1.6 and CS2).

What is the default port for CS 1.6 and CS2 servers?

27015 over UDP, used both for the game and for server queries.

What is the difference between a game port and a query port?

Players connect on the game port; trackers and server browsers read the status on the query port. Some games use the same port for both, others like Rust and TeamSpeak 3 use separate ones.
