# Connect to my Arma 3 server

{% hint style="info" %}
You can join via **IP + port** or via **server name**.\
A domain name helps avoid sharing the IP: [Put a domain name on your server](/en/dashboard/mettre-un-nom-de-domaine-sur-son-serveur.md).
{% endhint %}

### Objective

Join your Arma 3 server from in-game:

* via **Connect** (IP + port)
* via **Internet** (filter by name)

### Common issues

* **Server not found by name** : test direct IP connection.
* **Unable to connect** : check the port, then restart the server.
* **Server missing from the Internet list** : wait 1 to 2 minutes. Refresh.
* **Timeout** : try again later, or contact support with the logs.
