This guide can be followed for testing your connection to an authentication server, a web server, an instance server, or more besides. Before running any tests, we need to determine what to test.
www.pathofexile.compatchcdn.pathofexile.comWhat you should use in place of REPLACEME in the next section of the guide depends on the gateway you're trying to use. Please refer to the table below.

Each time you leave town, or enter a map, you are connecting to an instance server. GGG can have dozens - or even more - instance servers housed within the data centre for each gateway.
Helpfully, your game client's log file will tell you the IP address of the server you have connected to - and you can use this for the test. You want to open LatestClient.txt, scroll all the way down to the bottom, and find the most recent line that looks like the following;
2025/07/03 01:33:28 43034102 ca3a6b37 INFO Client 5644 Connecting to instance server at 69.41.173.237:6112.
Now, that last bit of punctuation is a colon, not a period - and what follows that is the port number, which isn't a part of the IP address. You want everything prior to the colon, which in this example would be 69.41.173.237. The test may not work if you include the " : 6112 ".
