Making Your Unturned Server Public

In this guide, you'll learn how to make your Unturned server public and visible in the server list. This is essential if you want other players to join your server.

If you host a server on a Game Server Hosting provider, like our hosting, you only need to create a Game Server Login Token (GSLT).

If you host the server on your computer, you need to follow two additional steps to make your server public: Startup Command and Fake IP.

To make your server public, you need to create a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) on Steam. This token is linked to your Steam account and allows your server to be listed on the public server list.

Go to steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers and log in with your Steam account.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see the Create a new game server account form.
Fill in the form with the following details:
- App ID: 304930 (Unturned's App ID)
- Memo: A name for your server (e.g., My Unturned Server)
- Click the "Create" button
This will create a new GSLT for your server. Copy it.
Go to your server files and open the Config.json file. Find and set the Login_Token field to the GSLT you copied.

How to Make Unturned Server Public

Startup Command

If you are hosting the server on your computer, you will need to run it using the ExampleServer.bat file instead of directly running the server executeable or through Steam.

In Steam Library, right-click on Unturned Dedicated Server, hover over Manage, and click Browse Local Files.
Find the ExampleServer.bat file and run it. From now on, use this file to start your server.

💡 PRO TIP
The Example in the command is the name of the folder where your server files are located in the Servers directory. If you have already set up your server, replace Example with the name of your server folder, for example, Default Alternatively you can just rename the Servers/Default folder to Servers/Example and use the ExampleServer.bat file as is.

Fake IP

If you are hosting the server on your computer, instead of port forwarding, you can just use a Fake IP feature to make your server public and show up in the server list. This is actually an easier and better option for security reasons as it hides your real IP address.

Go to your server files and open the Config.json file.
At the bottom of the Server section, you will find Use_FakeIP option. Set it to true.
