How to Make Your DeadPoly Server Private

Updated 10 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Making your DeadPoly server private restricts connections to only the players you explicitly allow. This is useful for whitelisted communities or friend groups. If you also want to grant elevated permissions to trusted players, see how to add admins.

Set your server to private (legacy version)

  1. Log in to your Game Control Panel.
  2. Stop your server.
  3. Click Configuration Files and open Game.ini using either the text editor or config editor.
  4. Locate the Allowed, Admins & Banned section.
  5. Replace the numeric portion of an allow= line with your player ID. You can find your ID inside the Trust Menu in-game.
    DeadPoly Game.ini allowed section with player ID entered in the allow field
  6. Save the file.

If you use the config editor view, you must first enable the Private toggle to reveal the allowed list before editing.

To allow more than one player, copy and paste additional allow= lines and enter each player's ID.

Troubleshooting

  • Players still joining: Confirm the server was stopped before you edited the file and that you saved before restarting.
  • Cannot find allowed list: In the config editor, make sure you have toggled the Private option on to unhide the section.
