How to Connect Centralized Banning to your Rust Server

The Rust Centralized Banning feature allows developers to create ban databases which are shared between servers.

The process of creating a ban database is quite complex, however, after gaining access to one, you will be able to synchronize player punishment information between a limitless amount of Rust servers.

Important: Before you can use Rust Centralized Banning, you will need to have access to a private ban database. Please refer to this wiki page for more information.

Connecting your Ban Database Endpoint

Once you have a database endpoint, it can be connected to your server using your server's control panel.

  1. Access your control panel.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Click server.cfg.
  4. Add the following entry to your server.cfg: server.bansServerEndpoint "<ENDPOINT DOMAIN>".
  5. Save your changes.
  6. Navigate to your servers console, and enter the command server.readcfg to make these changes live.
