g-portal white list and password question

I bought a server on g-portal just so me and my wife could play together in our own world, and putting in the password every time we log into the server is really annoying.


SO, if I have me and my wife on the white list and the admin list, does that mean my server is closed for anybody not on the white list?

i tried asking on the g-portal forums, but they seem dead, and i cant get an answer.



thanks in advance=)

I have my passwords on a word document and just copy paste.

Yes, but do you still need a password. Because the password effectively blocks unwanted anyway. OP is trying to get around having to type the password.

TBH i dont use Multi in this game and am not familiar with G-Portal... however the theory of a whitelist AFAIK is that users on whitelist can enter without challenge. Users not on Whitelist could request access. but be denied until Authorised.. if there is a Blacklist option and a user was on that they either would not see server or would be unable to request access if they could see it. hope that helps a bit :-)
