Network

Manage the IP and port allocations of your game server from the Network tab: add ports, choose the primary one and release the ones you no longer need.

PlaySafe Team ยท Server Panel ยท Updated

Network

The Network tab lists the allocations of your server. An allocation is an IP:Port pair reserved for your server. The primary allocation is the address players connect to, the one shown in the header. Extra allocations are useful for things that need their own port, such as a voice plugin, a query port or a second listener.

Open it from Hosting > Game Servers > your server > Network.

Network tab with the Allocations card and the primary allocation
The Allocations card

The card header shows how many allocations you use out of the limit of your plan, for example โ€œ1 / 3 allocations usedโ€.


Add an allocation

  1. Click Add.
  2. A free port is assigned automatically and appears in the list. You cannot pick the port number yourself.
  3. Restart the server so the game can use the new port.

Add is disabled when you have reached the limit of your plan. If no ports are free at that moment the panel shows an error; try again later or open a ticket.


Change the primary allocation

  1. Click the star on the left of the allocation you want as primary. The current primary has a filled yellow star and a primary badge.
  2. Restart the server. Players then connect to the new address.

Release an allocation

  1. Click the trash button on the right of the allocation.
  2. Confirm with Release. The port is freed and may be given to another server.
  3. Restart the server for the change to apply.

The primary allocation cannot be released. Make another allocation primary first.


Copy an address

Click any IP:Port in the list to copy it to your clipboard.
