Like other Source-based games, Garry’s Mod servers require a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) to operate publicly. This token links your server to your Steam account, ensuring accountability and compliance with Steam’s Terms of Service.
To create a GSLT, you must:
Own Garry’s Mod on your Steam account.
Have a verified phone number attached to your account.
Have an account that is not banned or limited.
Stay within the 1,000-token limit per account.
Follow these steps to generate your GSLT key and apply it to your server using the Chip Head Panel:
Visit the Game Server Account Management page.
At the bottom of the page, enter 4000 as the App ID (this identifies Garry’s Mod).
(Optional) Add a short memo to label your token for future reference.
Click Create.
Copy the Login Token that appears - this is your GSLT key.
Log in to your ChipHead Panel.

Stop your server.

Go to the Startup tab.

Find the “Steam Account Token” field & Paste your Login Token into the field.
Start your server.
