How to enable WebRCON on a Rust server

Add +rcon.web 1 to the launch options to use websocket RCON (WebRCON), which most RCON tools expect. 0 is the old Source protocol.

rcon.web

Switches RCON between websocket (WebRCON) and the deprecated Source-style protocol.

+rcon.web <1|0>

Examples

+rcon.web 1

Use WebRCON.

Values

Value	What it does
True	WebRCON (websocket)
False	Legacy Source RCON (deprecated)

Arguments

stateRequired: 1 or True for WebRCON, 0 for legacy Source RCON.

What it does

Most current admin tools and hosting panels use WebRCON, so set it to true. The legacy Source RCON mode is deprecated.

The game's own description: If set to true, use websocket RCON. If set to false use legacy, source engine RCON. Source engine RCON is DEPRECATED

Run it on your server

Type it in the server console or send it over RCON; admins can also use the F1 console in game. To keep a setting, run server.writecfg after changing it, or put it on the launch line as +name value.
