Why password protect your server?

Password protection provides additional security for your Enshrouded server. By restricting access, unwanted players are excluded and a protected gaming experience is guaranteed.

Set password via FTP

2. open the file enshrouded_server.json
3. search the file for "password": ""
   1. tip: With strg + f or cmd + f you can search a file in most text editors
   2. example: "ServerPassword": "Gameservercheck", your password is therefore: Gameservercheck - make a note!
4. now save the changes and restart the server

Set local password

To host your own dedicated server, download the Enshrouded Dedicated Server tool on Steam (available in your library after purchasing the game). Then right-click on the tool and go to Properties, then click on "Browse..." in the "Installed files" tab.

You should then see the enshrouded_server.json. Again, you can proceed as described in the instructions above.
