How to connect to the server

This page is intended to show the host's friend(s) how to connect to his or her server.

Installing ZeroTier

It's actually quite easy. We only need to download the ZeroTier client.

1. Go to the download page, and select Windows.

2. Open the ZeroTier One.msi file

3. There will be no installation prompts or instructions.

4. When it's finished, you should see this icon in your system tray.

Joining your host's network

We now need to join the ZeroTier network of the server host.

1. Find the little icon in your system tray

2. Right click and select Join New Network...

3. Get the Network ID from your host!

4. You can now confirm that you have joined the network by right-clicking the ZeroTier tray icon:

5. Remind your server host that you need to be authorized. They will understand what it means!

Using the Skyrim Together Reborn UI (STRUI)

Now to connect to your friends Skyrim Together Reborn server.

Connecting to a server

Please make sure you have finished the Helgen intro sequence / tutorial before following these steps.

1. Before you press Connect, you will need to enter your server's connection information.

2. There will be an Address field and a Password field.

3. In the Address field, you should put your server's managed IPv4 address.

   • If you're the one hosting it on your PC, you will enter the IP address 127.0.0.1.

   • If you're a friend of the host, trying to connect to their ZeroTier hosted server, you will need to enter the managed IP address.

4. Press Connect to connect to the server; there should be a visual and an audial confirmation that you're connected.
