How to Block Countrys by Code?

I wanna block a few specific regions/countries how do i do that? Like Brazil, Taiwan, Russia, And a few others.

Good luck with that, considering everyone is using VPN

Use the alpha-2 code for the country but as Kilix mentioned, people can use a VPN:

Your best bet for limiting who can get on your server is a password.
But even that can only do so much and it’s extra hassle at first, but the game does save passwords.

If I can mention an error here is that in ps4, a player has a way to enter locked servers. Once I joined a friend while he was playing in a server, I wanted to surprise him for fun. Later on I accept messages from the admins asking me how I enter their server since it was locked? Ofcurce I explained them the reason I joined and how, because after all it was a private server and I didn’t have the right to be there. Thank God these guys were reasonable and later on, they became my pvp clan. I never before mention this, I don’t know why I never report it as a problem, but it is. If someone has a private server there should be no possible ways for someone to enter.

I would say password is not really a way to keep people out. You have to keep changing it and it can be easily given away unless you are on a server with 2-3 friends. If you want to keep the people away, use whitelisting. However, this will reduce the amount of new player that join to check your server out.

Where’s that settting? I cant find it on menu

Guess it’s console or modded?

I did say it could only do so much, and was a hassle :slight_smile:

And a VPN can still get around region lock.

It is a vanilla setting, on PC at least, I don’t know about consoles. As per my previous message, you can either update it in the ServerSettings.ini file or you can update it from the in-game menu.
