Whitelisting a Project Zomboid server is a simple yet effective way to control who can access it and ensure a better gaming experience for all involved. By adding players to the whitelist, the server owner can ensure that only trusted players can access the server. It can be helpful for servers intended for a specific group of players, as it helps prevent unwanted players from joining and disrupting gameplay.
