# How to Configure RCON & Admin Tools in Palworld

> Master remote server management. Learn how to enable RCON support and use external administrative tools to monitor your Palworld community.

## Professional Remote Management

Remote Console (RCON) is a important communication protocol that enables you to execute administrative commands, broadcast global announcements, and manage player sessions without requiring an active in-game client session. This is essential for community owners who wish to automate maintenance tasks, monitor server health during peak hours, or moderate their community while away from their primary workstation. The FREAKHOSTING platform provides a secure and high-speed network path for all RCON communications.

## Technical Initialization

Follow these steps to authorize and configure the RCON engine within your server files.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access the Configuration">
    Log in to the [Game Panel](https://games.freakhosting.com), navigate to the **Files** tab, and open:
    `/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the RCON Engine">
    Locate the `RCONEnabled=` parameter and ensure it is set to **`true`**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define the Communication Port">
    Verify the `RCONPort=` variable.
    **Important:** On our high-performance clusters, you must use the specific port allocated to you in the **Network** tab of your dashboard (the standard default is often `25575`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Administrative Password">
    Ensure a strong string is defined within the `AdminPassword=` field. RCON uses this identical password for authentication.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Recommended Administrative Suites

Because the raw terminal can be limited, many professional administrators prefer using third-party graphical interfaces for more efficient community management.

* **ARRCON:** A lightweight, cross-platform terminal optimized for rapid command execution and clean log parsing.
* **Palworld RCON Tool:** A feature-rich graphical dashboard that provides visual player lists, allowing for one-click kicks, bans, and teleports.

## Establishing a Secure Connection

Once your server is correctly configured and restarted, follow this workflow to link your external tool.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Initialize the Client">
    Launch your chosen RCON application on your local PC.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Input Server Metadata">
    * **Hostname:** Enter your numerical FREAKHOSTING IP address.
    * **Port:** Input the RCON-specific port defined in your settings.
    * **Password:** Enter your master **Admin Password**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate & Execute">
    Click **Connect**. You can now execute commands such as `/ShowPlayers` or `/Broadcast` directly through the external interface.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  ### Security Integrity Notice

  Enabling RCON with a vulnerable or easily guessable password grants unauthorized individuals absolute control over your server instance, including the ability to purge world data. We strongly recommend using a high-entropy alphanumeric string for your `AdminPassword` to maintain the integrity of your community.
</Warning>
