MultiplayerServers

The game server runs on TCP port 15000 by default. To connect to the default server, click Multiplayer → Join Official Server. To connect to a specific port or server choose Multiplayer → Connect to Server and enter <server>:<port> where server and port correspond to the server address and port number you wish to connect to.

For the status of the various multiplayer servers as well as other Wesnoth resources, see the status page.

Official servers

Usually supported versions include: the current stable release, the old stable release, the current development release, the previous development release (runs only periodically in the transition phase between releases).

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.

• allfex.org

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.
