+This guide walks you through setting up a Vintage Story server using the files bundled with the game, and then sharing it to the internet using playit.
+
+> Ways you can host: [Hosting your own game server](https://www.vintagestory.at/selfhosting/)
+>
+> Official Server Guide: [Setting up a Multiplayer Server](https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Setting_up_a_Multiplayer_Server)

+
+### Requirements
+
+* Vintage Story
+* .NET 8.0.13 Desktop Runtime (comes with installer)
+
+
+### Locate the server files
+
+The dedicated server is included with the Vintage Story installation. Navigate to the following path for your operating system, or use the `run` dialogue window and paste these values
+
+
+**Server Executable**
+```text
+%AppData%\Vintagestory\VintagestoryServer.exe
+```
+
+**Server Config File**
+```text
+%AppData%\VintagestoryData\serverconfig.json
+```
+
+---
+
+## Server Setup
+
+Open the server executable mentioned before, and wait for it to fully start
+> By default, the server has a whitelist enabled. To whitelist a player, run this in the server console:
+>
+>```text
+>/whitelist add <username>
+>```
+> If you would like to **disable** the whitelist, you can run this command:
+>```text
+>/whitelist off
+>```
+
+### Tunnel Setup
+
+Go to the [playit.gg dashboard](https://playit.gg/account/agents) and select an agent to create the tunnel. If you have not created an agent, see the [downloads page](https://playit.gg/download) and follow the setup instructions.
+
+**Create a new tunnel** with the following settings:
+
+```text
+Tunnel Type: Vintage Story (game)
+```

+
+After your tunnel is created, you can connect using the IP address and port given by playit:
+
+{{< image src="post-img/playit-vintagestory-tunnelinfo.png" alt="Tunnel information" >}}
+
+### Joining the server
+
+To do this, all we need to do is give the server a name, and enter the connection information from before.
+
+{{< image src="post-img/playit-vintagestory-addserver-with-ip.png" alt="Add VS server with IP" >}}
+
+Alternatively, you can use the domain and port if you prefer that.
+
+{{< image src="post-img/playit-vintagestory-addserver-with-domain.png" alt="Add VS server with domain" >}}
+
+Click **Save**, and click on the server we just created. You should see verbose progress updates as you're loading in.
