How to connect with RustAdmin

RCON (remote control) is a protocol to manage server/send commands remotely (without being connected in-game).

To do so you will need to use an rcon client, we recommend using RustAdmin:

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Rust server.
2. Note your server's IP address and game port, shown at the top of the page (for example 203.0.113.25:28015).
3. Open the Startup tab. Scroll down to Network to find the RCON port, and click Show next to RCON password to see the password.
4. Launch RustAdmin by double clicking RustAdmin.exe and go to the Configuration tab.

In RustAdmin:

• Tick the WebRcon box for the RCON type.
• Fill in IP with your server's IP address, Server Port with its game port (the one you connect to in game), Rcon port with the RCON port, and Password with the RCON password from the Startup tab.
• At the bottom of the page, next to the Configuration field, select New configuration, click Save and give it a name.
• Click Server in the top left menu, then Connect.

You don't need RustAdmin to send commands: the Console tab in the control panel sends them straight to your server.
