Hide Server from Public List

Make your Arma Reforger server private by hiding it from the public server browser.

You can hide your Arma Reforger server from the public server list so only players with a direct connection can join. This is useful for private matches, testing, or exclusive community servers.

Hide from Server Browser

Open your server config

On XGamingServer, go to Files in your panel and open your server configuration JSON file.

Set visible to false

In the game section, set visible to false:

server-config.json

"game": {
    "visible": false
}

Save and restart

Save the file and restart your server from the Dashboard.

Your server will no longer appear in the public server browser. Players will need to connect directly using your server's IP address.

How Players Join a Hidden Server

Players can connect to a hidden server using the Direct Connect option:

Open Arma Reforger and go to Multiplayer
Click Direct Connect
Enter your server's IP address and port (found on your panel's Dashboard)
Click Connect

Combine with a Password

For extra security, you can also set a server password so that even players with the IP must enter a password to join:

server-config.json

"game": {
    "visible": false,
    "password": "YourSecretPassword"
}

Make Server Public Again

To show your server in the browser again, set visible back to true:

server-config.json

"game": {
    "visible": true
}
