# Q3 Rcon Proxy
|
|
|
|
A modification of [lilproxy][lilproxy_url] that forwards only Q3 rcon/query packets. Useful for separating the rcon port from the game server port.
|
|
|
|
### Use
|
|
|
|
Run one or multiple rcon proxies by setting an environment variable `Q3RCON_PROXY`
|
|
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export Q3RCON_PROXY="20000:28960;20001:28961;20002:28962"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This would configure q3rcon-proxy to run 3 proxy servers listening on ports `20000`, `20001` and `20002` that redirect rcon requests to game servers on ports `28960`, `28961` and `28962` respectively.
|
|
|
|
Then just run the binary which you can compile yourself, download from `Releases` or use the included Dockerfile.
|
|
|
|
### Why
|
|
|
|
Avoid sending plaintext rcon commands to the public game server port. In general I would advise anyone using rcon remotely to use a secured connection but perhaps you've passed rcon to a clan friend who doesn't know about secured connections. Now you can instruct them to use rcon only through a whitelisted port.
