Game servers
Console & RCON
RCON (Remote Console) lets you send commands to a running server — kick/ban players, broadcast messages, save the world, and more — straight from the panel.
Which games support RCON
| Game | RCON | Default RCON port |
|---|---|---|
| ARK: Survival Ascended | Yes | 27020 / TCP |
| Palworld | Yes | 25575 / TCP |
| Enshrouded | No (uses panel agent) | — |
Enabling RCON
- On the server page open Settings and enable RCON.
- Set an RCON password (SoEzyPanel can generate a strong one for you).
- Make sure the RCON port is open on the machine's firewall — but do not forward it on your router. See Ports & firewall.
Important: Never expose RCON to the public internet. Keep it firewalled to the panel server only. A leaked RCON port = full control of your game server.
Tip: For ARK: Survival Ascended there is no separate RCON password — RCON authenticates with the server's admin password (the same one
EnableCheats uses). The panel handles this for you.Using the console
The console lives on the server's Overview (and a full Console tab). It shows the live in-game chat — player messages stream in with a timestamp and the sender's name as they happen. Type at the bottom and switch the mode between:
- Chat — your message is broadcast to players in-game.
- Command — your text is sent as a raw RCON command (the response prints in the feed).
Quick buttons (ListPlayers, SaveWorld, GetChat) are one click away. For sending the same command or broadcast to every server at once, use a cluster broadcast.
Tip: RCON can't read live FPS or a player's ping/level. Install the Integration mod to unlock those plus an in-game shop and playtime tracking.
