RCON stands for Remote Console, it's a protocol that allows server administrators to remotely execute commands on their game servers. RCON is a feature that is built into many popular games, including Rust. It allows the server administrator to access and control the server remotely, without having to be logged in to the server directly.

RCON allows the administrator to execute a wide range of commands on the server, including basic commands like kicking and banning players, as well as more advanced commands like adjusting server settings, creating backups, and managing plugins.

RCON can be accessed using a RCON client, which is a specialized software that connects to the server and allows the administrator to execute commands. Some of the features that RCON clients provide include the ability to connect to multiple servers at once, the ability to save and recall commands, and the ability to use tab-completion to quickly find commands.

RCON is an important tool for server administrators, as it allows them to manage their servers remotely and easily. Some of the most common uses of RCON include:

  • Managing players: kicking, banning, teleporting
  • Managing resources: spawning, adjusting rate of spawning
  • Managing the server: changing settings, restarting
  • Managing plugins: installing, updating, uninstalling
  • Managing backups: creating, restoring

It's important to note that RCON can be a security risk, if not configured properly and the password is not kept secure. So, it's important to use a strong password and to limit access to RCON to trusted users only.
