How To Connect To Your SCP: Secret Laboratory Server

Here is how you can join your SCP: Secret Laboratory dedicated server. The game is free on Steam. Keep it updated: players can only join a server on the same game version, and your server updates itself when it restarts. No mods are needed to join, even when the server runs plugins.

Joining With Direct Connect

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and copy your server's IP address and port from the Overview page, for example 123.45.67.89:7777.
  2. 2
    Start SCP: Secret Laboratory and open Servers.
  3. 3
    On the Internet tab, click Direct Connect.
  4. 4
    Enter your IP address and port, then click Connect.

Note

A new server doesn't appear in the in-game server list. Northwood only lists servers they have verified, so share your IP address and port with your players until yours is. See List Your Server Publicly to apply.
