Fix Unturned Server Not Showing in the List
server not showingonly LANcan't find serverAn Unturned server that won't list is almost always ports or being set to LAN instead of Internet. Here's the quick fix.
Open the ports
Unturned uses a small range starting at the configured port (default 27015) over UDP. Open the port and the two above it:
27015/udp game (default)
27016/udp query
27017/udp (used by the server)Set it to Internet, not LAN
In your server's Commands.dat, the visibility must be Internet for it to list publicly. Check for the right mode and a server name:
# Commands.dat
Name My Unturned Server
Internet
MaxPlayers 24
Port 27015Connect directly
In Unturned → Play → Connect, enter server-ip and port 27015. Direct connect bypasses the browser.
Open 27015–27017/udp, set "Internet" in Commands.dat, and use Connect with your IP if the browser is slow.

Frequently asked questions
What ports does an Unturned server use?
UDP starting at the configured port (27015 by default) plus the two above it (27016 query, 27017). They must be open and forwarded.
Why is my Unturned server only showing on LAN?
The server is set to LAN mode. Add the "Internet" command to Commands.dat so it lists on the public/internet server list.
How do I join an Unturned server by IP?
On the Play menu choose Connect and enter the server IP and port (27015). This avoids the in-game server browser.
