Since the Meet Your Match update to TF2 the UI has changed. Connecting to servers has become a little more complicated. Now it takes an extra step to connect to your favorite [community] server. While this may seem trivial to some, others may find it as an annoyance. Fear not! There is a much quicker way to connect!

Finding the server's IP can be done a few ways. The two easiest methods are as follows:
　　　　　　　　　　　　　
1) Right click the server in your favorites or history, Click view server info, and copy the IP.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　
2) While on the server type status in the console, then copy the IP.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　
***Note: Both the IP and Public IP will work.***

Once you have the server IP open up your favorite notepad software.
Type in: echo "connect [server ip]".
Name your file and remember to type the .cfg file extension.
Change Save as type to "All Files".
Save in Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg

Find autoexec.cfg in Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\cfg
If you don't have one, create one just like you did in the previous step.
Add "exec [file name].cfg" to autoexec and save (remember to Save As .cfg).

Copy the IP from the console.
Paste the IP into the console.
Press Enter key.
