Hosting an Among Us Server
Creating a Private Lobby
Among Us uses Innersloth servers by default. For maximum control, you can run your own server using Impostor (an open-source server).
Impostor Server
Impostor is an open-source Among Us server:
- Order a server at game-serverhosting.de
- Impostor is installed automatically
- In Among Us: select "Custom Server"
- Enter the IP and port
Settings
{
"Server": {

"ListenPort": 22023
},
"AntiCheat": {

"BanIpFromGame": true
}
}
