How to enter a custom server
By Sarah Smith
How do you enter a server by IP address? I have tried many things already for hours at a time looking for the custom server entry field.

You have two main options that I know of:
In game, press F1 and enter: net.connect 000.000.000.000:00000
Use a Steam link in a browser, such as: steam://connect/000.000.000.000:00000
(Obviously, replace 000.000.000.000:00000 with an IP of your choice)
I think this may have changed since the question was originally asked. Here's how you connect now.client.connect [IP Address]:[Port (default: 28015)]
Example: client.connect 127.0.0.1:28015
Well now it just works with connect [IP Address]:[Port (default: 28015)]
Example: connect 127.0.0.1:28015
