Summary
Rust servers can be set to private or public, offering different styles of gameplay. Private servers are usually more controlled through passwords or whitelists, while public servers allow anyone to join freely. Although this openness can lead to memorable and varied interactions, it may also draw disruptive players who intend to grief or camp others. Unwanted participants can be removed quickly using admin commands either in-game or through the ChipHead Panel console.
