Easy Anti-Cheat is a third-party anti-cheat software to counteract hacking and cheating in Rust. Some server owners may wish to disable Easy Anti-Cheat on their Rust server to allow cracked/offline mode players to connect to their server. Although various reasons might motivate a server owner to do this, we do not recommend disabling EAC unless you know what you are doing.
Warning: Disabling Easy Anti-Cheat on your Rust server may cause your server not to appear in the in-game server browser.
Enabling or Disabling EAC
By default, Rust servers will have EAC enabled, however, you can disable it in your Rust Server Settings configuration file through your server's control panel.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Click Rust Server Settings.
- Locate the option use_eac and set it to true/false.
- Click Save and Start your server.
