VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) is an anti-cheat software aimed at preventing cheaters from playing on a server. Although, you may be unable to play on secure CS:GO servers due to a variety of VAC-related reasons.
Examples of this could be caused by clients that use custom textures, skin changers, or software that modifies game files.
Important: We suggest that you do not disable VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) as it can cause security risks for your server as players that use a modified client can connect.
Disabling Valve Anti-Cheat
You can disable VAC through your CSGO Server Settings by using your server's control panel.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Click CSGO Server Settings.
- Locate Insecure dropdown, and set this to Disabled.
- Save and Start your server.
