Restrict access to the Cryofall server
If you want to protect your server from unauthorised access, you have two options with CryoFall.
You can set your server to private. Then it will not be listed ingame in the server browser.
Then only players who know the IP address of the server can join it.
Or you can add players to a whitelist.
Of course, you can also combine both methods.
We will explain both possibilities to you.
Make server private
To make your server private, your configuration must be in Advanced Mode.
Then click on SettingsServer.xml in the configuration on the left.
Change the 1 to 0 here:
<is_public_server>1</is_public_server>
Then click on Save.
Restart your server.
From now on, only players can connect to the server who have either the IP address or the Server public GUID
.
You can find the Server public GUID
in the SettingsServer.xml under
<server_public_guid>YourPublicGUID</server_public_guid>
Whitelist
To be able to create a whitelist, you need to be an admin on your server.
How you can become an admin is described here: How to become an admin.
After connecting to your server, type the following in the console:/mod.whiteList.add Player
Replace Player
with the name of the player you want to add to the whitelist.
Repeat this for each player you want to add to the whitelist.
Then enter the following in the console:/mod.whiteList.enable 1
The whitelist is now enabled.
Tip: to remove players from the whitelist, type the following in the console:/mod.whitelist.remove Player
Replace player with the name of the player you want to remove.
