RconCli is a command-line utility that allows users to remotely manage game servers using the RCON protocol. This guide will walk you through the installation process of RconCli on FreeBSD latest.
Before installing RconCli, make sure that your FreeBSD system meets the following requirements:
Before installing RconCli, we need to install some dependencies for it to work.
sudo pkg install -y libssl-dev libevent-dev
To install RconCli, we will clone its repository from GitHub and build it from source.
First, clone the RconCli repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/gorcon/rcon-cli.git
Navigate to the cloned repository:
cd rcon-cli/
Next, we will build and install RconCli using the make command:
make && sudo make install
This command will build the RconCli binary and install it to the system.
Once the installation is complete, we can test RconCli by connecting to a game server using the following command:
rcon-cli -H <server-ip> -p <server-port> -P <rcon-password>
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of the game server, <server-port> with the port number of the server, and <rcon-password> with the RCON password of the server.
If you are able to connect to the server, you should see a prompt that looks something like this:
Connected to server <server-ip>:<server-port> successfully.
Type 'help' for a list of available commands.

You can now start using RconCli to manage your game server remotely.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install RconCli on FreeBSD latest. With RconCli, you can easily manage your game server remotely using the RCON protocol.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
