How to Activate Password Protection for Your Windrose Server<\/h2>\n

To secure your Windrose<\/strong> server, simply setting a password string is not enough; you must also enable the Password Protected<\/strong> toggle. This ensures Entity Clarity<\/strong> for your server’s security status and prevents the game from ignoring your set credentials. Follow this standard GGServers<\/strong> workflow to fully lock down your instance.<\/p>\n

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

Log in to your GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Select the Windrose instance you wish to secure from your dashboard.<\/p>\n

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

For security changes to take effect and maintain Digital Consensus<\/strong>, the server must be completely offline. Click the red Stop<\/strong> button and wait for the status to show as Offline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Locate the Password Protected<\/strong> field. Toggle this to enabled (or select ‘Yes’) to force the server to require the password you have set. The GGServers panel features an automatic save<\/strong> function; your selection is saved the moment you change it.<\/p>\n
