How To Whitelist Players On Your VEIN Server
Learn how to set up a whitelist on your VEIN dedicated server so only approved players can join.
A whitelist lets you 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 other players will be denied access, making this ideal for private communities or group playthroughs.
⚠️ Warning: Whitelisting requires VEIN version 0.023 or newer. Once you add any entries to
WhitelistedPlayers, only those players will be able to join. Make sure to include your own Steam ID.
Setting Up the Whitelist
Stop Your Server
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
Edit Game.ini
In the sidebar, go to Files. Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini and add the section [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase] if it doesn't already exist.
Add Whitelisted Players
Add each player's SteamID64 to WhitelistedPlayers=. For multiple players, create a new line for each entry:
[/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase]
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198012345678
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198012345679
WhitelistedPlayers=76561198012345680Start Your Server
Go to Console and Start your server.
💡 Tip: Consider combining the whitelist with a server password for an additional layer of security.
Removing the Whitelist
To disable the whitelist and allow anyone to join again:
Stop Your Server
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and Stop your VEIN server.
Edit Game.ini
In the sidebar, go to Files. Navigate to /Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini.
Remove Whitelist Entries
Delete all WhitelistedPlayers= lines from the [/Script/Vein.VeinGameStateBase] section.
