Setting/changing the RCON Password
Most source engine games make use of RCON - a protocol that allows server administrators to remotely execute commands on the server.
To set your RCON password on a Source Engine game server such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, you'll need to follow the steps below:
Head to your File Manager from within NodePanel.
Browse to the
/csgo/cfg
directory, replacingcsgo
with your specific game of choice.Open, or create a
server.cfg
file. This file will be automatically executed by the server every time the game starts up.Add a line like the following (or edit, if it already exists), making replacements as necessary. It's important you use a secure password here, as anyone with this password will be able to execute commands on your game server.
rcon_password "my_sup3r_s3cr3t_password"
If you wish to entirely disable RCON, set the rcon_password
value to a blank string, like so:
rcon_password ""
