How to Set your Insurgency Sandstorm Server to Private

Making your Insurgency: Sandstorm server private will allow you to give access to a select few players and stop any uninvited players from joining your server. The easiest way to achieve this is by adding a password to your server, which players will be prompted to enter before they can connect.


Configuring a Server Password

A password can be added to your server using the Insurgency Sandstorm Server Settings file in your server's control panel.

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Click Insurgency Sandstorm Server Settings.
  4. Set the Server Password field to your desired password.
  5. Save and Start your server.
