How To Make Your VEIN Server Private - Vein Guide

This guide will show you how to make your VEIN server private by disabling public server listing. When disabled, your server will not appear in the public server browser, and only players with the direct server IP address can connect.

Disabling Public Server Listing

Caution

If you want to run a private server, you must either first add your server to favorites in-game before setting the server to private, or you must direct connect by using your server IP address.

Log in to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
In the sidebar, go to Startup Parameters.
Under Basic, find Public Server and set it to False.
Start your server.

Your server will no longer appear in the public server browser. Players will need to use the direct IP connection method to join.

Connecting To A Private Server

To connect to your private server, players must use the direct IP connection method.

Access the GhostCap Panel.
Copy the server IP address from the sidebar.
Open VEIN and press ~ on your keyboard to open the console.
Enter connect YourServerIP:PORT, add ?password=yourpassword if you have a server password set.

For example:

No Password

connect 168.59.45.100:27030

Password Protected

connect 168.59.45.100:27030?password=Password123

Tip

Share your server IP address with players you want to invite. You may also want to set a password for additional security.
