How to Connect to Rust Server with IP

To connect to a Rust server with an IP:
1

Find the IP address for your server.

To connect to a rust server through IP, you will need to find the server IP and port first.On an Atomic Networks service, you can find the IP of your Rust game server by navigating to our game control panel and clicking on your IP in the top left of your server dashboard. Once you have found your IP address, you can continue to the next step.
When finding your IP address, remove the numbers after the colon. Example: 45.61.170.59:28024 turns into 45.61.170.59
2

Open the Rust game client and press F1.

Start the Rust game client. Press the F1 key to open the console.
3

Enter the 'client.connect' command.

Once console is open, run the command client.connect <IPADDRESS> where:<IPADDRESS> = The IP address you collected in Step 1.
Congratulations! You have successfully connected to your server!
