By enabling a whitelist for Ark: Survival Evolved, server admins can control who can access their server and ensure that only trusted players can join. This is especially important for Ark servers open to the public, as it can help prevent unwanted players from joining and causing grief or disruptions. Whitelisting your server gives you secure server management and allows you to host private events or tournaments. An Ark server whitelist can also be helpful for content creation, enabling content creators to play with their community without interference from random players.
