To join your RedM server, start RedM, press F8 to open the client console and type connect followed by your server address, for example connect 203.0.113.10:30120. Your address is shown at the top of every server page in the Game Panel. You can also search for your server’s name in the RedM server list once it is running.

​
How to join with direct connect

1

Copy your address

Open your server in the Game Panel. Copy the IP and port shown at the top of the page, for example 203.0.113.10:30120.
2

Check the server is running

Click Console. The server must be running, with no licence key error.
3

Open the RedM console

Start RedM and press F8. The client console opens.
4

Connect

Type the command and press Enter:
The connect command connects to a server by IP address and port, or by URL, according to the Cfx.re client console commands. If your server has a subdomain, you can use that instead of the IP.

​
How to find your server in the server list

Open RedM and search the server list for your server name or project name. A new server can take a few minutes to appear after it starts. If it shows the template name, change it on Server config, or set your listing details on the Cfx.re Portal, which Cfx.re now uses for server list details.

​
Why can’t I find or join my RedM server?

Players join on the game port (30120), never on the txAdmin port (40120).

​
Frequently asked questions

​
What is my RedM server IP?

The IP and port at the top of every server page in the Game Panel, for example 203.0.113.10:30120.

​
Can I join with a domain name?

Yes. Create a subdomain under Subdomain in the panel and use it with connect. See how to manage network and subdomains.

​
How do I make my RedM server private?

Set a whitelist with your framework, for example VORP’s whitelist commands. Setting sv_master1 "" only disables the connect button in the server browser; Cfx.re says it does not remove the server from the list.

​
Why does the server list still show “FiveM” in my server name?

The default server.cfg comes from the shared Cfx.re template. Change Server name on Server config and update your listing on the Cfx.re Portal.
