From what is included in the update details:

• The Server Transfer (from other servers to yours) is disabled by default.
• Export from your server is always enabled.

@Ignasi

• New server settings have been added for private servers to customize the Server Transfer feature to their needs:
  • ServerTransferEnabled (default value is false): Enables import of characters to the server. Export from the server is always enabled.
  • CanImportDirectlyFromSameServer (default value is false): Prevents players from directly importing characters that were exported from exactly the same server.
  • ServerTransferServersWhitelist: list of server addresses including ports from which players are allowed to import characters from. Turned on by adding at least one address to the list e.g., ServerTransferServersWhitelist=(“127.0.0.1:7777”). Does not override CanImportDirectlyFromSameServer.

This is wrong. You need to set the setting to false:

PC Update 2.5 Discussion Megathread

For Private Server owners; it looks like ServerTransferEnabled is set to True by default. This was not intended, but is currently out there. If that’s not what you want, then we recommend server admins go to their server configs and set that variable to False and restart your servers. Some of you probably noticed by now, but we apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this caused.

ServerTransferEnabled=false

So you just add this line to the ServerSettings.ini file?

you will need a server restart but yeah
