Arma 3 RCON Terminal
Connect to your Arma 3 server and run BattlEye RCon admin commands live through our UDP proxy — players, kick, ban/addBan, say, #shutdown, #restart, #mission, #monitor, #lock, #unlock, loadBans, MaxPing. 7 categories with one-line descriptions per command, parameter pickers, and a live response log. Default port 2306. Rate-limited 30/min/IP, alphanumeric-password warning, RestrictRCon=0 setup help.
Live RCon connection. Commands sent here run against the real server you connect to. #shutdown shuts it down. ban bans a player. Double-check the host before clicking Send.
Your password stays in this browser tab and is sent to your server through our BattlEye-RCon UDP proxy. Host/port are saved in localStorage; password is never persisted.

Run BattlEye RCon commands on your Arma 3 server, live from the browser
BattlEye RCon is the only way to issue admin commands to a running Arma 3 server without a player on the box — it's the same protocol BEC, BERCon, and every PHP RCon dashboard speaks. Most existing tooling is either Windows-only desktop GUIs or self-hosted PHP scripts behind HTTP basic auth. This terminal runs in your browser, posts to our server-side UDP proxy (BattlEye RCon is UDP + CRC32 — browsers can't speak it directly), and gives you a typed command set with parameter pickers instead of raw command strings.
Seven categories cover every standard RCon command: Players (players, kick by ID), Bans (ban, addBan, bans list, removeBan), Chat (say -1 broadcast, say <id> targeted), Server (#shutdown, #restart, #reassign, #mission <name>, #missions, #monitor, #lock, #unlock, #userlist), Diagnostic (version, commands list, MaxPing, RConPassword), Reload (loadBans, loadEvents, loadScripts), and Custom (raw command box for anything not in the menu).
BattlEye RCon has well-known gotchas this tool catches up-front: the password MUST be alphanumeric-only — symbols and punctuation break the BE protocol parser silently. RestrictRCon must be 0 in BEServer.cfg or the daemon refuses remote connections. The RConPort is independent of the game port (default 2306, not 2302+1). Several admin commands (#shutdown, #restart, ban actions) execute silently — the log shows OK after a 2.5s soft-return so you know the packet got through.
Host + port persist in localStorage so reconnecting is one click. Password never persists — re-enter on every session. Live response log timestamps every command + response with millisecond duration. Rate-limited at 30 requests/min/IP at our proxy to prevent abuse (the server itself doesn't rate-limit RCon, but a public-facing proxy must).
Pairs with the Server Config Generator (which sets up the BE side: enable BattlEye, point at BEServer.cfg) and the standard BattlEye install — drop BEServer_x64.cfg with RConPassword + RConPort + RestrictRCon=0 in your battleye/ folder. XGamingServer Arma 3 hosting includes BE preconfigured; just set RConPassword and you're ready to connect.
Arma 3 RCON Terminal — FAQ
My password has special characters and login fails
BattlEye RCon requires alphanumeric-only passwords. Symbols and punctuation break the protocol parser. Change RConPassword in BEServer_x64.cfg to a 16+ char alnum string.
"Login timed out" but the server is up
Three usual causes: (1) firewall blocking inbound UDP on the RCon port; (2) RestrictRCon = 1 in BEServer.cfg — set to 0 to allow remote RCon; (3) wrong port — RConPort is independent of the game port.
Some commands return "(no response body)"
Several admin commands (#shutdown, #restart, ban actions) execute silently without responding. The log shows OK after a 2.5s soft-return so you know the packet got through.
Difference between `kick` and `#kick`?
BattlEye-protocol commands (kick, ban, say) are direct over RCon. #-prefixed commands (#shutdown, #restart, #mission) are Arma 3 server-chat admin commands routed through RCon. Both work, just different namespaces.
Rate limits?
30 requests/minute per source IP at our proxy. The server itself doesn't rate-limit RCon, but the proxy does to prevent abuse.
