RCON allows you to remotely enter commands for your server without the need to login or access the server control panel. In this guide, i will show you how it can be setup easily.
The first step is to go to Scalacube.com and log in to your account.
Once logged in, locate "Servers" and click on "Manage Server".
Click "Manage" again.
Locate "Settings" on the left tab and enter it.
Find "server.ini" and click on "Change".
Search for "RCONPort=" and change it to the port shown after your server IP address.
Next, find "RCONPassword=" and change it to something secure, only which you would know.
Once the changes are made, click on "Save" and wait for the process to finish.
Go back and "Reboot" your server for the changes to take effect.
Next, you will need an RCON client to connect. We recommend using RCON-CLI.
Once your RCON client has been downloaded, start it and in the first field, enter your full server IP address.
Next, enter your set secure RCON password.
If you've set everything correctly, the command will follow with "Waiting commands". If the program exists automatically, you will need to try again and make sure everything was set correctly.
