How to Find a FiveM Server's IP Address

Paste the server's join code or cfx.re link into CFXR's resolver and it resolves the underlying connect endpoint, looks up the IP address behind it, and shows the ASN, ISP and hosting provider alongside it — no game client required.

FiveM servers aren't addressed by IP in the way older game servers were. Every public server is registered with Cfx.re under a short join code (like b578o4), and that code is what gets shared in Discord invites, server browsers and cfx.re/join/ links. The join code is a layer of indirection: it points at a live connect endpoint on Cfx.re's matchmaking service, and that endpoint is what actually resolves to an IP address and port.

That indirection is deliberate — it lets a server owner move hosts, change IPs or sit behind a proxy without breaking every link that has ever been shared for their server. It also means the IP isn't something you can read off a join code by eye; it has to be resolved.

1. Get the server's join code or link. Any of these forms work: a bare code like b578o4, a full cfx.re/join/b578o4 URL, or a fivem://connect/b578o4 link from a Discord invite.

2. Paste it into the input on the CFXR homepage and submit. CFXR normalises whichever format you used down to the bare code automatically.

3. CFXR queries the public Cfx.re server API for that code, reads the endpoint it returns, and resolves that endpoint's hostname to an IPv4/IPv6 address over DNS.

4. The resolved IP is enriched with ASN, ISP/hosting provider name, region and country from IP geolocation data, and shown alongside the server's name, resources and current player list.

Server owners typically use this to confirm which host or datacenter a server actually runs on (useful when troubleshooting a supposed downtime report), to verify a server hasn't silently moved to different infrastructure, or to check whether a competing or copycat server is hosted by the same provider. Players occasionally use it to sanity-check that a server they're about to join is really operated by who it claims to be, based on hosting history.

It is not a way to connect to a server directly by IP — Cfx.re's matchmaking still mediates the actual join, so the join code (or the game client's connect flow) is still what you use to play.

If you need to check more than one server, the bulk resolver handles up to 25 join codes in one request and exports the results as JSON or CSV. For anything you need to automate, the same resolution is available as a plain HTTP call — see the API-based bulk monitoring guide.
