How to Disable VAC on your Garry's Mod Server

You may be unable to play on secure Garry's Mod 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 via "Garry's Mod Server Settings" available in your Multicraft Control Panel.

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Open Garry's Mod Server Settings.
  4. Locate the option "Insecure", and set this to True.
  5. Save and Start your server.
