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 an unlimited number 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 and locate the server.cfg file

If you are unable to locate the server.cfg file, you can refer to our guide on the topic here.

  1. Add the following entry to your server.cfg: server.bansServerEndpoint "<ENDPOINT DOMAIN>".

  1. Save the file.

  2. Navigate to your server's console, and enter the commands writecfg and readcfg to make these changes live.
