How to Connect to Your SCUM Server

Last updated: September 18, 2026

This guide shows you how to find and join your SCUM server through the in-game server browser.

Step 1: Find Your Server Address

Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel and select your SCUM server. Your server IP and game port are shown on the Dashboard.

Launch SCUM.
Open the Multiplayer menu and go to the Server Browser tab.
Search for your server by the name set in scum.ServerName.
Select your server and click Connect. If you set a password, enter it when prompted.

If your server does not appear in the browser, you can add it directly by address:

SCUM uses a small block of consecutive UDP ports. Your panel assigns these, so always use the values shown on your Dashboard:

Port	Protocol	Purpose
Game port	UDP	Where players connect. Common values are `7777` (self-hosted) or `7042` (managed).
Game port + 1	UDP	Raw UDP socket used by the game.
Game port + 2	UDP	Steam query port used by the server browser.

The server browser relies on the query port, which is always your game port plus two.

Problem	Fix
Server not in the browser	Confirm the server is running and give the query port a minute to register. Use direct connect with your IP and game port.
Connection timed out	Double-check the game port on your Dashboard, and that the server is online in the panel console.
Server is full	The player cap was reached. See Configure Your Server.
Wrong password	The server uses a join password. See Set a Password.
