Changing the server visibility to private on a Project Zomboid server provides more control over who can access the server, as only those who have been granted permission or given the password can join. It benefits servers intended for a specific group of players, such as friends or a gaming community. In addition, making the server private can help prevent unwanted players from disrupting gameplay or causing issues.
