If you would like a private server where people need a valid user/pass to join you need to use a Whitelist.
This might seem difficult to setup however once you're set up its pretty easy to manage.
The server will look in your zomboid database folder (/server/Zomboid/db) for a database file, this has the name of your service id.
All you need to do to add a user is click the + icon, and then (in order) put your database file name e.g. if it's 101.db put 101 into the 'world' column, then add a username and password into their respective columns. Close the database once you've made your changes and it'll auto save.
Upload the modified file onto the server to replace the existing one
Now edit the server configuration and set "Open" setting to "false". Save
Start server.
