1. Is there a way to password protect a server via the launch.bat? like

    Server.password {password here}
    Thank you, sorry if it's in the wrong place

    No, Rust server doesn't have built-in password support. You'd need to use a plugin.
     
  3. Are there any plugins?

    I hear that you cant close/lock down a server with a password, is this correct ??

    If not I was wondering if anybody would be able to make a IP blocker plugin for server maintenance or when setting up a server and dont want to be disturbed when working ?

    Thx in advance !
     
  7. You are right sir but will only solve the problem temporarily, so would be a bit more convenient with a simple command ?
     
  8. Hello Oxide users,

    Just reaching out and wondering is there a way to make a rust server password protected or is the only way to go whitelist?
     
  9. i dont see how that would be a temp solution, set your ip into the whitelist, and dont add anyone too it. Drag and drop it in anytime you dont want to be disturb, it doesnt get easier then that

  12. Hey everyone, I've done some searching and came up dry. Is there anyway to add a password to an oxide server via the batch file?

    Thanks

    Not without a plugin.
     
  14. Wulf can you make a password plugin ? Or a SteamGroup whitelist plugin ?
     
  15. Thanks ! I didn't know this plugin xD
     
  16. Hey. We plan put a password during a speacial time on the server. We could use the stemgroup whitelist but I think the steamgroup ID can not be changed onthefly?!? I do not really want to restart the server.

    Best solution would be to set a password onthefly but this is not possible atm. So If I can change the SteamGroup ID onthefly without reset it would be nice. Maybe by loading a new config via RCON. Do you know if this is working?

    Thanks and regards

    You can change the Steam group ID in the plugins config and then reload the plugin for new members to be loaded.

    Also, the best password method I could come up with for servers that do not provide a means of entering a password would be handling it in their names. I've got my old plugin overhauled locally to have that as an option in it in addition to the old /password command method.
