RCON (Remote Console) is a network protocol that allows you to control game servers remotely. It provides access to the server console without needing to interact directly with the server environment. This way, you can execute administrative commands, adjust configuration parameters, or retrieve server status information.
In Conan Exiles, RCON is used to run server-side commands such as managing players, changing gameplay settings, or retrieving diagnostic outputs. The connection is password-protected and operates over a designated port accessible via compatible RCON clients.
A major advantage of RCON is that you manage the server without needing to be connected as a player in the game. Server admins can conveniently monitor and control Conan Exiles through external tools, command lines, or web dashboards – offering great flexibility and convenience for remote management.
Once connected via RCON, you can execute various administrative and diagnostic commands on your Conan Exiles server. Available commands depend on the game but typically include player management, status queries, and server control.
