What servers and ports can I use with my newsreader?

To access UsenetServer's services, configure your newsreader to connect to the NNTP server news.usenetserver.com. Select from the following ports based on your preferred connection type:​

Important Notes

• The address news.usenetserver.com is intended for newsreader settings and is not a Web address; it will not function in a Web browser.​

• These configurations pertain specifically to NNTP/Usenet services and are unrelated to any VPN add-ons.

• Unencrypted ports may offer increased speed; however, communications over these ports are transmitted in plaintext.​

Updating Servers and Ports

Servers and ports can be updated in your newsreader, but the method for doing so changes from client to client. Find your newsreader in our Newsreader Setup Guides for more detailed instructions on how to set up your UsenetServer connection in your specific client.

Alternative Server Options

For troubleshooting or improved connectivity, consider the following server addresses. The previously mentioned ports are applicable to these servers as well:​

• IPv4: news.usenetserver.com

• IPv6: news6.usenetserver.com

• IPv4: news-us.usenetserver.com

• IPv6: news-us6.usenetserver.com

• IPv4: news-eu.usenetserver.com

• IPv6: news-eu6.usenetserver.com

Experimenting with these alternatives may enhance your connection experience.
