> **RCON** (Remote Console) allows you to send commands to your server without being connected as a player. This is essential for community managers who need to monitor chat, perform bans, or switch maps while away from their PC using mobile tools or dedicated staff dashboards.

## 1. Enabling RCON (Game.ini)

RCON must be explicitly activated in your server configuration:

1. Open `Game.ini` via the File Manager.
2. Locate the `[Server.Settings]` section.
3. Configure the following:
   ```ini theme={null}
   [Server.Settings]
   RconEnabled=1
   RconPassword=YourSecurePassword
   RconPort=7778
   ```
4. **Note:** Your `RconPort` should typically be **Game Port + 1** or a port specifically allocated to you in the **Network** tab.

***

## 2. Connecting a Client

Mordhau uses the standard **Source RCON** protocol.

* **Tools:** Use generic applications like *mRCON* (Windows) or *RCON Client* (Android/iOS).
* **Setup:** Enter your Server IP, RconPort, and Password to establish a connection.

<Important>
  ### Security Best Practice

  Never use your administrative in-game password as your RCON password. RCON is a powerful tool; if your password is leaked, anyone can wipe your ban list or shut down your server instantly.
