Q3 Rcon Proxy

A modification of lilproxy that forwards only Q3 rcon/query packets. Useful for separating the rcon port from the game server port.

Why

Unfortunately the Q3Rcon engine ties the rcon port to the game servers public port used for client connections. This proxy will allow you to run rcon through a separate whitelisted port.

Use

Run one or multiple rcon proxies by setting an environment variable Q3RCON_PROXY

for example:

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.

Logging

Set the log level with environment variable Q3RCON_LOGLEVEL:

0 = Panic, 1 = Fatal, 2 = Error, 3 = Warning, 4 = Info, 5 = Debug, 6 = Trace
