# 👏How to connect Bungeecord to Paper servers

---

By default **you need to manually connect your paper / backend servers to your proxy!**

#### Step 1
We need to configure all your backend servers to support the bungeecord proxy

On you paper server(s), go to the `spigot.yml` and set `bungeecord` to

```yml
bungeecord: true
```

Next in the `server.properties` file, ensure that `online-mode` is set to `false`

***Note: you have to do this on all backend servers***

#### Step 2
On your bungeecord server, find the file in the main directory called `config.yml`, here is where you will find a `server` section. Here you need to spesify every server

Here is the structure of the `server` section

```yml
servers:
  NAME-OF-SERVER:
    address: SERVER-IP
    motd: 'MOTD / SHORT DESCRIPTION'
    restricted: false - keep this
```

Here is an example:

```yml
servers:
  lobby:
    address: play.atomichost.xyz:0001
    motd: '&1Lobby Server'
    restricted: false
  survival:
    address: play.atomichost.xyz:0002
    motd: '&1Survival Server'
    restricted: false
```

Lastly, restart both the proxy and all your back end servers, and then everything should work!
