### Common issues

#### The server does not appear in the list

* Test the connection by IP.
* Verify that the server is actually started.
* Wait 1 to 2 minutes. The listing may be delayed.

#### `Failed to connect` / timeout

* Check the IP/port (copy-paste from the dashboard).
* Try again after a server restart.
