The query port is what allows tools like Steam\u2019s server browser and GameTracker to &#8220;ping&#8221; your server for information such as player count and current map. Follow this guide to update your settings via the GGServers game panel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Access the GGServers Panel<\/h3>\n<p>Start by logging into your account at the <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Ensure you have selected the specific Insurgency instance you wish to modify.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>Before modifying network configurations like ports, you must <strong>Stop<\/strong> your server. Attempting to change ports while the server is active can result in the settings not applying correctly or causing connectivity issues.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"How to stop your Insurgency server\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stop the server before making any network changes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Open Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Look at the navigation sidebar on the left side of the dashboard.
