How To Use RCON On Your Conan Exiles Server

All Game Host Bros Conan Exiles servers have RCON enabled by default, and commands can be run directly through the server Console. Here's how to use RCON on your Conan Exiles server, along with a list of the available RCON commands.

Using RCON Commands

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Console.
  3. 3
    Type your desired command and press Enter.

RCON Settings

Your RCON port and password are managed in Bropanel, so there's no need to edit any configuration files. If you're using an external RCON client such as mcrcon to connect to your server, you can find your connection details in Settings under RCON.
