How to set your Query Port for your Rust server

Quickly set your Rust server's query port with Kinetic Hosting! Just open a new port in the Network & Ports section, copy the number, paste it into the Query Port box on the Settings page, and start your server. Then easily connect via Steam using ConnectionAddress:QueryPort.

A query port is how the game can connect with steam to allow it to show up in the public list.

2 Head to the Network & Ports tab on the left hand side.
