Setting your Left 4 Dead 2 server to private is a great way to stop uninvited players from joining. The easiest way to do this is by giving a Steam Group exclusive access to your server.
Using the Control Panel
You can easily restrict server access to a certain Steam Group by adding the group ID to your server's Server.cfg
file.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Go to Files > Config Files.
- Click Left 4 Dead 2 Server Configuration.
- Enter your Steam Group ID next to
sv_steamgroup
. - Set
sv_steamgroup_exclusive
to1
. - Click Save and Start your server.
