Connecting without Warcon (RCON or agent)
Connect your server directly, or through the agent without opening a port.
Directly with RCON
- 1Enable RCON in your server config. The dashboard shows the exact lines to add.
- 2Dashboard → Overview (setup) → Directly with RCON.
- 3Enter the public address with the RCON port and the RCON password. The bot checks both before saving.
- 4Add more servers the same way.
WarDogs agent (no open port)
The agent is a small program that runs next to your game server and connects out to us, so no port has to be opened and the RCON password never leaves your machine. The full guide: wardogsbot.com/guides/agent.
Tip: Use a long, random RCON password and change it if anyone else ever saw it.
