Setting Up Your FiveM Server Protection in Under 2 Minutes

Protection Should Be Simple

One of the biggest barriers to FiveM server security is complexity. Many server owners know they need DDoS protection, but they assume it requires technical expertise, complex configurations, or expensive enterprise solutions. It does not.

With RarxConnect, you can have full FiveM protection up and running in under two minutes. This tutorial walks you through every step.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need: - Your FiveM server's IP address and port (e.g., 123.456.78.90:30120) - An email address for your RarxConnect account - About 2 minutes of your time

That is it. No special technical knowledge required.

Step 1: Create Your RarxConnect Account (30 seconds)

Visit rarxconnect.com and click the sign-up button. Enter your email address and choose a password. You will receive a confirmation email — click the link to verify your account.

You can also sign up using your Discord account for even faster registration.

Step 2: Add Your FiveM Server (30 seconds)

Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard and click "Add Server". You will need to enter:

• Server Name — A friendly name to identify your server in the dashboard (e.g., "My RP Server")
• Server IP — Your FiveM server's actual IP address
• Server Port — Your FiveM server's port (default is 30120)

Click "Create" and your server is registered.

Step 3: Choose Your Subdomain (15 seconds)

RarxConnect assigns your server a custom subdomain under rarxconnect.com. You can choose any available name, for example:

• myserver.rarxconnect.com
• bestcityrp.rarxconnect.com
• yourcommuntiy.rarxconnect.com

This subdomain is what players will use to connect to your server. Choose something memorable and relevant to your community.

Step 4: Share Your New Connection Address (15 seconds)

Update your community with the new connection address. Instead of sharing your raw IP address, players will now connect using:

connect yourserver.rarxconnect.com

Or they can use the fivem:// protocol link, which RarxConnect generates automatically:

fivem://connect/yourserver.rarxconnect.com

Share this link in your Discord, on your website, and on server listing sites.

Step 5: You Are Done!

That is it. Your server is now accessible through the RarxConnect proxy. On the free tier, you get a custom subdomain and fivem:// redirect support. If you upgrade to a paid plan, you also get:

• Dedicated proxy IP — Your traffic does not share infrastructure with other servers
• Anti-DDoS filtering — Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your server
• IP masking — Your real server IP is completely hidden from players
• Connection statistics (Pro) — Monitor who connects and traffic patterns
• IP rotation (Pro) — Swap your proxy IP instantly if needed
• Priority support (Pro) — Fast response when you need help

Upgrading Your Plan

You can upgrade your plan at any time from the RarxConnect dashboard. The upgrade takes effect immediately — no downtime, no reconfiguration needed.

Navigate to Billing in your dashboard, select the plan you want, and complete the payment through Stripe. Your new features are active within seconds.

Testing Your Setup

After setting up, verify everything is working:

1. Connect to your server using the new subdomain: connect yourserver.rarxconnect.com
2. Check your ping — You should see minimal difference from a direct connection (1-3ms additional)
3. Verify IP masking — Ask a player to check what IP they see when connecting. It should show the proxy IP, not your real server IP

Common Setup Questions

"Do I need to change anything on my FiveM server?" No. Your FiveM server configuration stays exactly the same. RarxConnect works at the network level — no server-side changes required.

"Can I use my existing domain instead of a subdomain?" Yes, on paid plans you can configure a custom domain. Just point a CNAME record to your RarxConnect subdomain.

"What happens if I want to switch back?" Simply share your direct IP again. There is no lock-in and no permanent changes to undo.

"Will my current players need to do anything?" They just need to use the new connection address. No client-side changes or installations required.

Conclusion

Setting up FiveM server protection does not need to be complicated. With RarxConnect, you go from zero to fully protected in under two minutes. No technical expertise needed, no complex configurations, no expensive solutions.

Your community deserves a server that stays online. Set up your protection today and stop worrying about DDoS attacks.
