How To Add A Whitelist To Your Project Zomboid Server

This guide demonstrates how to restrict server access by whitelisting your Project Zomboid server so that only approved players can connect.

Enabling The Whitelist

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Project Zomboid server.
2. In the sidebar, navigate to File Manager.
3. Go to .cache/Server/pzserver.ini.
4. Locate Open= and change it to false.
5. Restart your server.

Once Open= is set to false, player self-registration is disabled, requiring manual account creation via the server console.

2. Navigate to Console.
3. Execute: adduser username password (substituting actual username and password).

Players authenticate using the credentials you create.
