# Palworld RCON Setup (/docs/palworld/remote-console)



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

> ⚠️ **RCON is deprecated.** The Palworld developers recommend using the [REST API](/docs/palworld/rest-api) instead. RCON may stop working in a future update.

Enabling RCON [#enabling-rcon]

In `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`:

```
RCONEnabled=True
RCONPort=25575
AdminPassword="YourPassword123"
```

The RCON password is the same as your `AdminPassword`.

Port [#port]

| Port  | Protocol | Purpose          |
| ----- | -------- | ---------------- |
| 25575 | TCP      | RCON connections |

> 📝 **Note:** The RCON port does not need a separate allocation on XGamingServer — it's handled internally.

Connecting [#connecting]

Use any Source RCON compatible tool:

* **mcrcon** (cross-platform CLI)
* **ARRCON** (Windows GUI)
* **BattleMetrics** Palworld RCON

Available Commands [#available-commands]

All [admin commands](/docs/palworld/admin-commands) work via RCON (without the `/` prefix):

```

KickPlayer steam_76561198012345678
Broadcast Server restarting in 5 minutes

Shutdown 300 Scheduled restart
```
