Enshrouded Direct Connection

OS Name/Version: Linux (Debian 13.1)

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Deimos” v2.7.2.2, built 29/04/2026 19:49

Problem Description:

I’m hosting a Enshrouded server for a few friends, and have noticed that until I join the game, my friends can’t. They can’t find my server using it’s IP & Port, but they can see it available and join it as soon as I’ve connected to it (I used its IP address on my LAN).

My configuration file has:

	"ip": "0.0.0.0",
	"queryPort": 15637,

15637 TCP+UDP is port forwarded through my router to the server.

Is there a configuration, either in enshrouded_server.json or within the AMP web interface, that I would need to add to allow my friend to have a direct connection to this server rather than going through whatever Steam relay is requiring me to be online?

Short answer is no

But they can add it by IP and Port to their Steam favorites, then it should show in-game

They have it in their Game Servers list with :15637, but it still won’t show as connectable without me in there.

Will I also need to add 15636 or any other ports to the instance config / router port forwarding?

No, you don’t need to add ports
