# 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 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.
|
|
|
|
### Why
|
|
|
|
Avoid sending plaintext rcon requests (that include the password) to public ports. Instead send them to whitelisted ports.
|
|
|
|
Gives you the option to disable remote rcon entirely and have the server accept requests only from localhost.
|
|
