Can't connect ​

Work from the top down.

1. Is the server actually up? ​

Panel shows Running, and the console prints something like:

Done (12.345s)! For help, type "help"

If not, see Server won't start.

2. Right address and port? ​

  • Copy the exact address and port from the panel — do not guess.
  • If using a custom domain: does dig +short play.example.com return the node IP?
  • Using SRV? Confirm the record and give it a few minutes to propagate.

3. Cloudflare orange cloud? ​

If your domain is on Cloudflare and proxied (orange), non-HTTP traffic is broken. Set it to DNS-only (grey).

4. Firewall / port ​

Each service has its own port. If you changed the port in the config, update the panel's port allocation too (ticket if you need a new one).

5. Only you or nobody? ​

You onlyEverybody
Your client/version mismatchServer-side issue

Try the server IP without a domain to rule out DNS. If the IP works and the domain does not, it is a DNS problem — common after a domain change.

6. Still stuck? ​

Open a ticket with: service ID, exact address used, exact error text, and your client version.
