WARDOGS server administration
What is an RCON panel?
An RCON panel is a web interface for administering a game server through its remote console. WarGuardian provides a hosted RCON panel for WARDOGS communities.
What does an RCON panel do?
An RCON panel translates supported server commands into controls your admins can use in a browser.
Depending on the game, those controls can include player lists, kicks, bans, map changes and configuration.
RCON interfaces vary between games.
A panel must support your game and its current server interface.
WarGuardian is built for WARDOGS RCON.
It does not claim compatibility with every game that uses the RCON name.
RCON panel, game hosting panel or command-line client?
| Tool | Main purpose |
|---|---|
| RCON panel | Administer a running game server through its supported remote commands. Some panels also add staff roles, history and moderation workflows. |
| Game hosting panel | Manage the hosting environment, such as server installation, files, process startup and resource limits. Features depend on the provider. |
| Command-line RCON client | Send commands directly from a terminal. This can suit individual administrators who know the command interface. |
An RCON panel does not replace your game hosting provider.
WarGuardian connects to the RCON endpoint your existing host makes available.
What should you look for in an RCON panel?
- Game compatibility. Confirm that the panel supports your game and the commands you need.
- Individual staff access. Look for separate sign-ins and permissions that match each role.
- Useful moderation records. Staff should be able to understand what happened and why an action was taken.
- Connection requirements. Check which endpoint, port and hosting access the panel needs.
- Operating costs. Compare hosted plans with the infrastructure and maintenance a self-hosted panel requires.

Common questions
Can I use the same RCON panel for any game?
Only when that panel explicitly supports each game.
RCON is a general term, and different games expose different protocols and capabilities.
Does a hosted panel need my game server to move?
No.
With WarGuardian, your WARDOGS server stays with your existing host.
The service needs access to its RCON endpoint.
Can my staff manage more than one server?
Yes.
WarGuardian supports multiple WARDOGS servers with access assigned by community and server.
Plan limits apply.
