SCP: Secret Laboratory server settings and options

A dedicated SCP: Secret Laboratory server, standard or with the EXILED plugin framework.

Options you choose at checkout

• Server Framework: Dedicated (standard), or EXILED (for plugins).

Start and connect

1. Press Start and wait until the status says Online.
2. Find your address and port on the Network page. See Network and ports.
3. 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.

Settings you can change

These are the settings shown on your Startup page. Only settings that can be safely edited are listed.

Change a setting

3. Change the value, save, and start your server.

See Startup settings.

Files the panel keeps up to date

Each time your server starts, the panel writes your server’s port and address into: none. If a value you set in those files keeps changing back, that is why. Change it with the settings above, or open a ticket.
