RCON is great for remote server management. It allows remote connections to your server with unlimited access, protected by a password.

To change your RCON password, simply set rcon_password "my_super_secure_password" in your server.cfg file. If you wish to disable RCON, set the password to a blank string, like rcon_password "".

Be sure that your RCON password is very secure. Any weak passwords will allow attackers access to control your server.
