Alternate third-party servers

These are servers hosted by third parties and not officially maintained by the Wesnoth team. This list used to be much longer, but as of December 19th, 2014, the following three are the only ones able to be connected to.

• linuxiuvat.de

Local server

You can also set up a temporary server hosted on your own computer for the use of LAN games using the dedicated server software wesnothd. To start an instance, choose Multiplayer → Host Networked Game. Other users can then connect to it by inputting the IP address of the host machine under Connect to Server. As soon as all players disconnect, the local server will be shut down.
