RCON (Legacy)

Legacy RCON Integration – Deprecated

⚠️ Notice: Legacy Integration This RCON integration method is now considered legacy and is no longer recommended. We strongly suggest using the newer, more reliable RCON Adapter, which provides:

  • Improved error handling

  • Automatic command queuing

  • Enhanced command targeting for games like Conan Exiles and Rust


About Legacy RCON Integration

RCON (Remote Console) allows Tebex to connect to your game server directly to execute in-game commands. It is commonly supported by games such as:

  • Minecraft

  • Source Engine Games (e.g. CS:GO, TF2, Garry’s Mod)

  • 7 Days To Die, Rust, and others

When you add RCON-based commands to a Tebex package, we will send the command to your game server using an authenticated RCON connection — without relying on a game-specific plugin.

Limitations of Legacy RCON

  • No support for player online/offline status detection

  • No ability to check inventory space

  • Commands are assumed to succeed if the server responds


How to Set Up Legacy RCON

  1. Navigate to Game Servers

  2. Click “Connect Game Server”

    • Choose RCON Server as your connection type.

    • Click Continue.

  3. Enter Server Details

Option

Description

Name

A label for this server (e.g., “RCON Server”)

RCON Host

The IP address or hostname of your game server

RCON Port

The port your server uses for RCON (default varies)

RCON Password

The password configured on your server's RCON service

  1. Test the Connection

    • Click Test Connection to verify the credentials.

    • If successful, click Create to finalize setup.

You can now include raw RCON commands in any Tebex package.


Notes on Command Execution

  • Tebex sends RCON commands in real time when a purchase is completed.

  • If the connection to your server fails, or the command cannot be executed, we will:

    • Retry the command once every hour for up to 24 hours.


Planning Migration?

If you're currently using legacy RCON, we strongly recommend migrating to the Tebex RCON Adapter, which provides:

  • Full support for player targeting

  • Better error detection and logging

  • Support for complex command chains and safer retries
