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.
- Access your control panel.
- Navigate to Files and locate the server.cfg file
- Add the following entry to your server.cfg:
server.bansServerEndpoint "<ENDPOINT DOMAIN>"
.
- Save your changes.
- Navigate to your servers console, and enter the command
server.readcfg
to make these changes live.
