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.Difficulty
