Summary
In the context of a Factorio server, a whitelist is a security measure that restricts server access to only those players who have been pre-approved by the server administrator. By maintaining a whitelist, the server ensures that only trusted players can join, enhancing security and preventing unwanted disruptions. This approach allows for a controlled and personalized multiplayer experience, minimizing the risk of griefing or unauthorized access.
