⚠️ As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Rust has a delay in indexing new servers to appear inside the game. That’s usually, 20 minutes.
NOTE: That’s a Rust-side issue that developers are working to fix on a near update.
Gladly, that is a one-time only.
Once your server is available on the Community tab, you can be safe, as all players will be able to see the server on the list!
Once the server is indexed on the game, it will be listed under the Community tab.
You can use the Search Box to search for your server.
If you wish to change your Rust Server name, you can do it on your Control Panel under Advanced Settings.
Look for the Description option and Restart your Rust Server.
🎉 That’s it! You’re now connected to your Rust server.
