import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Enabling RCON [#enabling-rcon]

In `Game.ini`:

```ini
[RconPlugin]
RconEnabled=1
RconPassword=YourSecurePassword
RconPort=25575
RconMaxKarma=60
```

| Setting        | Default | Description                  |
| -------------- | ------- | ---------------------------- |
| `RconEnabled`  | `0`     | 1 = enabled                  |
| `RconPassword` | `""`    | RCON authentication password |
| `RconPort`     | `25575` | TCP port for RCON            |
| `RconMaxKarma` | `60`    | DDoS prevention threshold    |

Port 25575 (TCP) must be forwarded.
