How to Set a Server Password on Your OpenRCT2 Server<\/h2>\n

Securing your OpenRCT2 server is the best way to ensure that only your friends or specific community members can join your park. By setting a Server Password<\/strong>, you prevent unauthorized players from connecting, while still allowing admins to join without needing to enter the code. The GGServers panel makes this security step quick and efficient. Follow the steps below to protect your server.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Access the Panel<\/h3>\n

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and select your OpenRCT2 server from the dashboard. This is where you can manage your server’s security and access rules.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

To ensure that the new password is correctly applied to the server’s authentication system, you must first stop the server. Click the red Stop<\/strong> button on the main console. Wait for the status indicator to show that the server is “Offline.”<\/p>\n

\"Stop
Always stop the server before updating your security credentials.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n

On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on the Server Settings<\/strong> button. This menu contains the primary configuration categories for your OpenRCT2 instance.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Open General Settings<\/h3>\n

In the Server Settings menu, select the General Settings<\/strong> tab. This section manages the core identity and connection requirements for your server.<\/p>\n

Go to General Settings to find the Server Password field.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 5: Change the “Server Password” Setting<\/h3>\n

Locate the box labeled Server Password<\/strong>. Enter the password you wish to require for your players. If you want to remove the password and make your server public again, simply leave the box empty. The GGServers panel will automatically save<\/strong> your changes the moment you enter the new text.<\/p>\n

\"Set
Enter your desired password here to protect your park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step 6: That is it!<\/h3>\n

Your server is now protected! Return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your OpenRCT2 server will now require the password you set for any client attempting to connect.<\/p>\n
