How to Enable Public Advertising for Your Squad Server<\/h2>\n

If you want your Squad server to be discoverable by the wider community, you must ensure that it is “advertising” to the master server list. When this setting is enabled, your server reports its status, player count, and name to the public directory, allowing players to find you through the in-game browser. Follow this guide to toggle public advertising using the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the GGServers Panel and Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

Log in to your account at the GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Before changing how your server communicates with the public list, you must Stop<\/strong> the server. This ensures that the new networking parameters are correctly broadcast when the server restarts.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Toggle Advertise Server<\/h3>\n

Find the box labeled Advertise server<\/strong>. When this switch is turned on, your server will report to the public server list. If you wish to keep your server private for testing or events, you can turn this off. The GGServers panel features an auto-save system, so your preference is saved immediately.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Start Your Server<\/h3>\n

Once you have configured the advertising setting, return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your server will now begin broadcasting to the Squad master server list!<\/p>\n
