Wardogs RCON tool and server admin panel
Connect your server's RCON address and run it from your browser or your phone. Handler is independent: it is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by the publisher of Wardogs.
What Handler does with the Wardogs RCON
You run your server without opening a console.
- Kick, ban, message a player or the whole server, move a player to another team or put them down.
- Change the map and the lighting, skip to the next map, set the rotation.
- Follow the match live: faction scores, players, kills with the weapon.
A config editor that shows the differences
You read and edit your server's config from Handler.
- Before saving, Handler shows the differences with the current version.
- Every version is kept and can be restored in one click.
- Passwords and tokens stay masked.
Bans that stick
A ban applies as soon as the player comes back, even if they were offline.
- On one server or the whole organization, for a few days or forever.
- Every sanction keeps its author, its reason and its expiry.
- Bring your existing bans over by choosing your ServerSettings.ini file.
Anticheat, one case per suspect
Every kill is analysed. You decide the sanction, evidence in front of you.
- Clear, kick or ban from the case.
- Flagrant cases can go out on their own, if you turn it on.
- Bans confirmed by other communities reach your network.
Automations and official examples
A rule written once runs all the time, even when nobody is online.
- A visual editor, no code, with a dry run before you turn a rule on.
- Ready-made official examples: random teams, stacking guard, banned weapons, rotation, welcome.
- Every run is kept in a log.
Discord, mobile, public pages and API
The RCON does not have to stay in your browser.
- A Discord bot for /status, /player and your alerts. /kick and /ban are off by default.
- A mobile app, iPhone first, with alerts and quick actions.
- A public page for your players, with a leaderboard, match reports and votes.
- A REST API and a TypeScript SDK for your own tools. The live stream and webhooks are Pro only.
Connect a Wardogs server
You need your server's RCON access. Nothing to install on it.
- Enter the RCON address, port and password. Handler tests the connection and reads what your build can do.
- The event feed is optional and set up by hand: Handler generates a block, you paste it at the end of ServerSettings.ini, then restart the server. It powers live kills, kill stats and the anticheat.
- Server far from Europe, or you want to keep the password at home? Install a regional collector next to it.
RCON password and permissions
Your server access stays protected, including from your own team.
- The RCON password is encrypted and never shown again.
- Every member has a role, on the whole organization or on some servers. You can create your own roles.
- Every action is recorded in the audit log.
Free to start
The free plan covers as many servers and members as you want, with no trial period.
See pricing- Live control, anticheat, automations, tickets, stats and the mobile app are included.

Wardogs RCON questions
How do I connect to a Wardogs server's RCON?
Add your server in Handler with its address, port and RCON password. Handler tests the connection and saves it. If your server's RCON runs over HTTP, allow the address Handler shows in the server's allowed hosts list.
Is Handler a good RCON tool for Wardogs?
It covers the Wardogs RCON commands (kick, ban, messages, teams, map, lighting, config) and adds sanction history, anticheat, automations, roles and a mobile app.
Do I need to install anything on the server?
No. Handler connects to the RCON remotely. Only the optional event feed asks you to paste a block into ServerSettings.ini and restart the server.
Is Handler free?
Yes, with no limit on servers or members and no trial period. Pro adds extras such as the API live stream, webhooks and a longer history.
Is my RCON password safe?
It is encrypted and never shown again, even to your team. You can also install a collector at home and keep the password sealed for it alone.
How can I run my Wardogs server from my phone?
With the Handler mobile app, iPhone first: live view, alerts, kick, bans confirmed with Face ID, map and lighting.
Is Handler affiliated with the publishers of Wardogs?
No. Handler is an independent tool, neither affiliated with nor endorsed by the publisher of Wardogs. Wardogs is a trademark of its owner.
