Privacy and security are paramount when hosting a public lobby. Enabling Anonymized IPs<\/strong> on your OpenRA – Tiberian Dawn<\/strong> server ensures that the full IP addresses of connecting players are hidden from other users. This protects your players from potential targeted attacks and maintains a secure Digital Consensus<\/strong> within your community. Follow the standard GGServers<\/strong> workflow to activate this privacy feature.<\/p>\n

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

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. The dashboard provides the Entity Clarity<\/strong> required to manage sensitive player data and privacy protocols for your RTS server.<\/p>\n

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

To ensure that IP masking is correctly applied to the server’s logging and network broadcasting systems, click the red Stop<\/strong> button. Changing privacy settings while the server is live may leave existing connection data exposed.<\/p>\n

\"Stop
The server must be offline to update player privacy settings.<\/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 Tiberian Dawn instance.<\/p>\n

\"Server
Open the Server Settings menu to access your configuration tabs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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

Inside the Server Settings menu, select the General Settings<\/strong> tab. This section handles fundamental security, identity, and data-handling rules for your server.<\/p>\n

\"General<\/figure>\n

Step 5: Change the Setting That Will Auto Save<\/h3>\n

Locate the box labeled Anonymized IPs<\/strong>. Set this to Yes<\/strong> (or enter 1) to hide player IP addresses. The GGServers panel features an automatic save<\/strong> function, meaning your privacy rules are updated the moment you make the change.<\/p>\n

\"OpenRA
Enable this to mask player IP addresses for increased privacy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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

Return to the main dashboard and click Start<\/strong>. Your OpenRA – Tiberian Dawn server will now boot with IP anonymization active, providing a safer environment for all commanders to engage in warfare.<\/p>\n
