Insurgency: Sandstorm servers require two separate tokens to be set to appear on the in-game server browser. This step is crucial for public servers, allowing random users to find and join the server. These tokens can be regenerated if lost and expire after some time, so check regularly to ensure the server remains publicly available. Users may still join through direct connection by entering the server's IP, making the server tokens optional for users looking to grow their player base.
