# 🔗How do i connect to my rust server

---

To connect to your rust server, you can do one of the following:

#### Search for your server in the Community / Modded Tab 
##### (May take up to 24 hours to show)

You can search for your server name which you spesified in the settings, or before purchasing the server.

#### Manual Connect
##### (Will work instantly after server has started)

When Rust has loaded, press `f1` and run `client.connect <serverIP>`, this can be found on the `console` tab.
