UNET - Password protection approach.

Questions & Answers

Hello everyone.

What would you recommend as an approach for password protection in order to prevent server from unwanted players connecting. I don’t use matchmaking, just created custom HUD with fields server, port, and password. At this moment it works like this:

  1. Host started. Host player spawned. Password set on server.

  2. Player connected. Player spawned. Some manager (on server side) checks if connected player object has correct password. If it’s not - it makes player disconnected.

I know it’s not a good way to protect server.
It would be better to do it like this:

public override OnServerConnected(var SomeConnectionInfo)
{
    if (SomeConnectionInfo.password == this.ServerPassword)
        base.OnServerConnected(SomeConnectionInfo);
    else
        Disconnect();

}

Or maybe I need to learn and use LLAPI for this.

Any help would be priceless, thank you.
