hello guys i know there are lot of quistions about rcon and alot of answers buth 
i tryed almost everything ans til cant get it to work 
i followed a youtube movie from srtbull to setup a rust server localhost i used he's batch template 
like this 
echo off
:start
E:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir E:\rustserver\ +login anonymous +app_update 258550 +quit
RustDedicated.exe -batchmode ^
+server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 ^
+server.level "Procedural Map" ^
+server.seed 9811354 ^
+server.worldsize 4250 ^
+server.maxplayers 50 ^
+server.hostname " Island Of No Return" ^
+server.description " Zombie server pvp and pve Noob Friendly no raids only on purge day
." ^
+server.url "http://yourwebsite.com" ^
+server.headerimage "http://yourwebsite.com/serverimage.jpg" ^
+server.identity server1"^
+rcon.port 28016 ^
+app.port 28082 ^
+rcon.password xxxxxx ^
+rcon.web "1"
+serverip "*.*.*.*"

goto start

when server is running and i do 
rcon.web 1 it say true 

on my modem i opened the ports from 

28010 until 28020 i even opened port 28075 until 28085

when i go to rcon io i cant connect
when i use rust admin and fill everything in and put my steam apikey in i still cant connect 
so my quistion is did i miss somthing ?? 
pss srry for my bad englisch (dutch person)

Hi Cfsonny,

I had a smiliar problem.

First -> you have the "+rcon.port 28016" duplicated. It should not interfere, but it´s not necessessary.

Try to set the serverip to *.*.*.* and put a simples password for the Rcon password.

If it works, you can try the change the password for a more complex one. I had an connection issue when I put a long complex password.
