How to Hide Your Arma Reforger Server from the Public List

Hide your server from the public Community browser so only players with a direct IP can join. Useful for private matches, testing, or invite-only community servers.

Click Save Changes and restart from Console.
How Players Join a Hidden Server
Hidden servers don't appear in the Community browser, but players can still connect via Direct Join:
- Open Arma Reforger and go to Multiplayer
- Click Community > Direct Join
- Enter your server's IP and port (e.g.,
123.45.67.89:2001) - Click Connect
Combine with a Password
For maximum privacy, combine hidden visibility with a server password — players need both the IP and the password to connect:
"game": {
"visible": false,
"password": "YourSecretPassword"
}Make the Server Public Again
To return the server to the public browser, set visible back to true:
"game": {
"visible": true
}Save and restart.
