Official servers

Use of the default server is most common and most players will be on it. The alternate (server2) server is most often used when the default one is down for whatever reason.

Alternate third-party servers
These are servers hosted by third parties and not officially maintained by the Wesnoth team.
- • vesnod.ceata.org
- Trisquel 6 server located in Romania, maintained by Fundația Ceata. Accepts 1.10.x versions of the game on default port 15000.

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.
