How to Set Up an RCON Connection on Your Arma Reforger Server

Note:

Always shut down your server completely from the control panel before editing config.json. Making changes while the server is actively running can cause your modifications to be overwritten, corrupted, or ignored during the next restart.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Stop Your Server

---

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

4. Open the ‘config.json’ File

Navigate to:

home/container

---

5. Edit ‘config.json‘ file

---

6. Understanding Variable

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
address	String	"0.0.0.0"	Network interface to bind RCON. Use "0.0.0.0" to listen on all interfaces.
port	Integer	Allocated Port	Dedicated port used exclusively for incoming RCON communication.
password	String	""	The authentication secret key required to access the console.
permission	String	"admin"	Sets access level: "admin" (full command control) or "monitor" (read-only output).
maxClients	Integer	1	Maximum number of concurrent external RCON connections permitted.

7. Check your JSON File Formatting

Verify that all curly brackets {} and quotation marks "" remain properly closed within the playerBanList array.

Ensure there are no trailing commas after the last player entry before closing brackets to prevent parsing errors when the server loads the configuration.
