- To view your map, open any web browser and go to:
http://<your-server-ip>:<your-extra-port>/. - Make sure to replace
<your-server-ip>with your server’s IP address and<your-extra-port>With the extra port you previously allocated for Dynmap. - If you own a custom domain, you can remove the port requirement and create a custom address to view your map. If you are interested, see our Network - Reverse Proxy guide.
