Hello, I hope you all doing well. I'm new to here. I used to open up the 4+ players coop server to playing with my friends. However, A random strangers keep joining in my server and do trolls. There's a bug that people cannot join my server if there's a player password so I want to know how to open up the server without listing on master server list. How can I do this? I cannot evade the random strangers with setup the tag or group_exclusive or searchkey.

One option is you can whitelist your friends: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1830686

1. Ban him
2. Add -nomaster to server startup line (will disable listening the server to master list)
3. Using Source Mod make all slots reserved (admin reservation) and add your friends steam id to reserved slot.
