A whitelist is a key security feature for managing player access on a Factorio server. It limits entry to a select group of pre-approved users chosen by the server administrator, ensuring that only trusted players can join. This not only enhances overall security but also helps prevent griefing and unwanted interruptions. By enabling the whitelist, admins create a more controlled, stable, and personalized multiplayer environment—ideal for communities that value collaboration and consistency.

1. Log in to your Game Panel to start your server.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
