Click Network in the sidebar. Your address is shown as IP:Port. The default Necesse port is 14159 (UDP).
Connect to Your Server

Launch Necesse and click Multiplayer from the main menu.
Enter password (if set)
If the server has a password configured in server.cfg, you'll be prompted to enter it.

Click Connect. You'll load into the server world.
Your server appears in the in-game server browser automatically unless it's password-protected or the server list is unreachable.
