Make sure you have uMod and Oxide setup before continuing.
If you're wanting to make your server private, please follow the steps provided below:
You will need to enable a whitelist by using an Oxide plugin as Rust does not have a password option available.
1.) Download the Whitelist plugin by Wulf, https://umod.org/plugins/whitelist
2.) Upload the plugin to your /oxide/plugins/ directory.
3.) Restart your server. Once the server is started, the plugin should be enabled.
4.) To allow people to connect find the person's Steam ID: You can find their steam ID From this website: https://steamid.io/
5.) When in-game, press F1 and use the following syntax: oxide.grant user 00000000000 whitelist.allow (Replace "00000000000" with the Steam ID you got in the previous step)
Congratulations you've set up the server whitelist! Any player who attempts to join without a whitelist will now be blocked from the server.
Note: Server admins do not require permission to join
