How to connect your DayZ server to CFTools Cloud
1
Set the RCON password
Open Startup, enter a password in RCON Password and click away from the field; it saves automatically.
2
Note the RCON port
On the same page, note the RCON Port. You can’t change it; it belongs to your server.
3
Restart the server
Restart so BattlEye uses the new password.
4
Add the server in CFTools Cloud
Sign in to app.cftools.cloud and add a new DayZ server. Enter your server’s IP, game port, the RCON Port and the RCON password, then follow CFTools’ checks to confirm you own the server.
5
Check the connection
CFTools shows the server as connected and lists online players. Join the server and check you appear.
What CFTools Cloud gives you
For extra in-game data, CFTools offers its own integration mod. Follow CFTools’ current documentation if you want it; install it like any DayZ mod.
