# How to Set Up a Whitelist on Your Vein Server (/docs/vein/whitelist-setup)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Vein doesn't have a dedicated whitelist file. To restrict access, combine `bPublic=False` (hide from browser) with a server password.

Make Your Server Private [#make-your-server-private]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Stop the server [#stop-the-server]

    In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), go to **Console** and stop the server.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Edit game.ini [#edit-gameini]

    Click **Files** in the sidebar and open `Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/game.ini`. Set:

    ```ini
    [/Script/Vein.VeinGameSession]
    bPublic=False
    Password=YourSecretPassword
    ```

    `bPublic=False` hides the server from the browser. The password ensures only players who know it can connect via direct IP.

    Save and start [#save-and-start]
