Connectivity & Ports

Your BeamMP server runs on Vyper Hosting’s infrastructure, so no port forwarding is needed on your end. Each server is assigned a randomly allocated port at creation - visible in the Console tab alongside your IP address.

  1. Log in to your Vyper Hosting panel.
  2. Select your BeamMP server.
  3. Open the Console tab - your connection details are shown at the top in the format IP:PORT.

Share this IP and port with your players. They enter it in BeamMP under Multiplayer → Direct Connect.

Work through these in order:

CheckWhat to look for
Server is runningEnsure the server is running in the Console tab
Correct IP & portCopy directly from the Console tab - don’t retype manually
Using BeamMP launcherThe Steam shortcut won’t show the Multiplayer button
Plugin blocking joinCheck CE or Nickel whitelist settings
Large mod packStuck on connecting = mods downloading - give it time
Auth key invalidServer won’t appear on the public list - check the key in the Startup tab

Open a ticket from the billing panel or reach us on Discord. Include:
