Server Trader - Friend can Destroy - Help Please

Howdy all, I need some Help Please

A21.2
Last week i made a 7DTD Private Server for me Friends on Proxmox with the help of a Friend who's done server's in the Past
We set it up, him showing me how to do it with the best of his Teaching abilities. 

Server is signed into Steam anonymously so no admin (Now thinking bad idea - What happens when something goes wrong and things go a missing?)

Some reason I don't understand - He set it up that people that want to join have to go though a VPN. Thoughts?
Started it Up - Works Great\No Issues - 2 Friends joined and having a blast

Now:

Few days ago, friend that helped with server wanted to join, i said "Sure Can".

He started playing, we doing quests and I'm helping him do his base and donating resources and food as friends should do - he doesn't fully understand the mechanics of the game, thinks he does but No

Anyway - Having a Blast - Day 9 he wants to know about trader protection if zombies can get in - I say: Zombies and Players cant damage the Trader compound and they removed the annoying ding sound when zombies hit the walls only happens when Players hit things - What about getting things behind the Trader. Me: cant loot things and get behind Trader this Alpha ( I didn't try in A20).
"OK" he says

About to leave the Trader (30seconds RL time) and he wants to show me something he can do

Starts wrenching the the Digger in Trader Bob's Compound: WTF, i hit the Digger and get the Ding - other friends get ding as well when playing before

I ask how he's doing that and He says he doesn't know (Maybe hmm)

EAC is active on Server, Vanilla with no mods being able to be active if someone has them, XML file hasn't been modified as it was a fresh install (I had to wait as he downloaded it again)(He not play in months) - Also I didn't understand much as we set it up

He's also not the Guy to cheat and he follows the Rules I've given

The thing that made me Mad the most was: He wanted to tunnel Under the Trader and see if he can Destroy the Compound

1: Its the only Trader my other Friends have in the Map - They have him at Tier 3 (One Nitwit didn't get the Bike at Chain Reward)

2: There are other Traders True, found Rekt an In game Hour away

3: Traders are one of the most Valuable assets in the game, that's why there is the No Trader Challenge out there

Told him this and He "reassured me that the Trader wouldn't die" "that he would float there" 

1: I haven't tested that this Alpha so it might have changed (Devs do sneaky things lol)

2: If he wanted to do that - Go to a single player map and do it, don't ruin others Escape time

3: When i said No, he asked me Multiple times in the night if he Could

 

Now other Friends don't want to rejoin - Half the Trader is gone and the Others don't want to start again in another town

Not really sure What to Do? I don't mind telling him to "Go Away" nicely angrily, as I'm honest 

 

What I'm asking is: Does Anyone know How this is happening?

How can i stop it, and if i should restart server by myself with help from Youtube.

Sorry for the long Story and Thank you for sticking around and Reading it all - Help be much Appreciated please

There is a known exploit of removing the trader protection by deleting the trader xml, or editing it to say trader area false on a local machine, and being able to damage, destroy, and build in a trader area on a server.. He needs to reinstall or its intentional and he needs a BAN

Thank you very much for the Help and Advice

I've decide to Reset the Server (I asked all first)

Gave him a second chance with the Same Rules but tries this again and it will be a BAN

I've asked him to Reinstall 7DTD by Wiping it all from his PC if he wanted to Rejoin - and he Agreed

If Intentional then Perma BAN - Still learning how much @%$#-Talk he does

TYVM Again

Have a Great Year
