Solved Making my server private?

  1. hi

    i am running a small server just on a spair home pc for a few of my friends and i. i would like the server to be private however several times users have joined and just made a nuisance of themselves. my current method of dealing with this has been to ban them so they cant come back on but this is a pain. is there a way to have a whitelist or password or other way to stop randoms joining? i have seen some threads pointing to a whitelist plugin but all the links are broken and i can't find the plugin by searching.

    i would prefer for a native way to do this but another plugin would be fine.

    thanks in advance

  3. that seems to not have been updated in a while. does it still work?

    also i found something about using server.steamgroup in the server config but that did not work. is that outdated or have i not set it up properly?

    They work fine, a plugin doesn't have to be updated every week. ;)

    "server.steamgroup" is from Rust Legacy, it has never existed in the current version of Rust. You can however use the Steam Groups plugin if desired.

    Work for what? It isn't a whitelist or password manager.
