How to ban players from your Garry’s Mod Server

As a Garry’s Mod server administrator, you have the power to control player access through the use of bans. There are several types of bans available, including SteamID, Name, IP, Range, and Temporary bans. In this article, we’ll explain each type and how to implement them effectively!

how to ban players from your server:

In Garry’s Mod, there are several types of bans that you can use to restrict access to your server. Here are some of the most common types of bans used in Garry’s Mod, and how to use each one:

1- SteamID Ban: Bans a player based on their SteamID, which is a unique identifier assigned by Valve to each player on Steam. This type of ban is permanent and will prevent the player from joining your server even if they change their username. To ban a player by SteamID, use the following syntax in the server’s console:

banid (SteamID) (duration in minutes) (reason)

2- Name Ban: Bans a player based on their username. This type of ban is less secure than a SteamID ban, as players can change their username. However, it can be useful if you need to ban a player quickly and don’t have access to their SteamID. To ban a player by name, use the following syntax in the server’s console:

ban (player name) (duration in minutes) (reason)

3- IP Ban: Bans a player based on their IP address. This type of ban is useful for preventing players from using multiple accounts to bypass a ban. To ban a player by IP address, use the following syntax in the server’s console:

banip (IP address) (duration in minutes) (reason)

4- Range Ban: Bans a range of IP addresses, which can be useful for blocking entire networks or regions. To ban a range of IP addresses, use the following syntax in the server’s console:

banip (start IP address) (end IP address) (reason)

5- Temporary Ban: Bans a player for a specified amount of time, after which the ban will be lifted and the player will be able to join the server again. To ban a player temporarily, use the following syntax in the server’s console:

ban (player name or SteamID) (duration in minutes) (reason)

or

banid (SteamID) (duration in minutes) (reason)

how to unban players from your server:

Here is the syntax for unbanning players in Garry’s Mod:

2- Name Ban: “removeip NAME”

3- IP Ban: “removeip IPADDRESS”

4- Range Ban: “removeip IPRANGE”

5- Temporary Ban: “unban STEAMID”
