Arma Reforger server settings and options
A dedicated Arma Reforger server.
Start and connect
Section titled “Start and connect”- Press Start and wait until the status says Online.
- Find your address and port on the Network page. See Network and ports.
- In the game, use its direct connect or add-server option with that address and port.
Some games use extra ports, for example to list the server in a browser. If players cannot see or reach your server, open a ticket and we will check the ports. See Contact support.

Files the panel keeps up to date
