Managing Private Access Control

Whitelisting is an essential administrative protocol for private communities, streamers, and hardcore Roleplay (RP) environments. By implementing a whitelist, you ensure that only verified and authorized individuals can establish a connection to your server, effectively neutralizing the threat of stream-snipers, malicious griefers, or uninvited intruders. The FREAKHOSTING Game Panel supports both native vanilla whitelisting and advanced mod-based management for maximum flexibility.

Access Control Methodologies

Choose the method that best aligns with your community’s technical infrastructure and staff workflow.

​
Identifying Unique Identifiers

To authorize a player, you must possess their specific network identifier.
The 17-digit SteamID64 is the primary identifier used by most mods. You can retrieve this by inputting a player’s Steam profile URL into tools like SteamID.io.
If using the vanilla whitelist, you must convert the SteamID64 into a 32-character BattlEye GUID. This conversion can be performed through various community-made online converters or administrative plugins.

​
Maintaining Whitelist Integrity

If you choose to enable the enableWhitelist variable in your configuration, the server will strictly reject any player whose identifier is not present in your registry. Ensure your administrative team is added to the list first to avoid locking yourself out of your own server.
