How To Whitelist Players On Your VEIN Server - Vein Guide

A whitelist allows you to control exactly who can join your VEIN server. When enabled, only players whose Steam IDs are on the whitelist will be able to connect—all others will be denied access.

Setting Up The Whitelist

Caution

Whitelisting is for game versions (0.023+).

Once you add any entries to WhitelistedPlayers, only those players will be able to join your server. Make sure to include your own Steam ID!

Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini and add the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase] if it doesn't exist.

Add your SteamID64 to WhitelistedPlayers=. For multiple players, create a new line for each entry:

[/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase]
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198168321655
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198954041655 (Create a new line with `WhitelistedPlayers=` to add additional players)
WhitelistedPlayers=76561209906341655

Go to Console and Start your server.

Tip

Consider combining the whitelist with a server password for additional security layers.

Removing The Whitelist

To disable the whitelist and allow anyone to join:

Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini.
Remove all WhitelistedPlayers= entries from the [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase] section.
Go to Console and Start your server.
