RCON Setup

Configure direct RCON access for Geofence and advanced features.

What is RCON?

RCON (Remote Console) is a protocol that allows direct communication with your game server. While CRCON provides a web-based interface, direct RCON access enables low-level operations like real-time player position tracking.

Note: RCON credentials are different from CRCON credentials. CRCON wraps RCON with a web interface, but the Geofence feature needs direct access.

Why is RCON Needed?

The Geofence feature requires direct RCON access because:

  • •Real-time player position tracking every few seconds
  • •Immediate action when players leave the zone
  • •Lower latency than going through CRCON API

Finding Your RCON Credentials

This is your game server's IP address. You can find it in:

  • • Your hosting provider's control panel
  • • The server browser in Hell Let Loose
  • • Your CRCON configuration

RCON Port

The RCON port is usually different from the game port. Common examples:

Port TypeExample
Game Port7777
