How to block rcon port

[deadpool]

Hi We've just ordered a dedi
Core2Quad 2.4
250GB HDD
Windows Web 2008
8GB DDR2 Ram
NYC
- TY Colocrossing
----------------------------------
Before its setup, i was wondering how i could go about blocking the rcon port.
So rcon is completly un-usable apart from, when doing it from Mani-Admin plugins.
I do know its possible, im unsure how is there a command like:
rcon_port "port"
Then block that port?

Thanks,
DP.

Just block TCP connections to your game servers port ( 27015 ) but allow UDP.

I would recommend just disabling Rcon alltogether rather than blocking any ports.

I suppose you just don't set an rcon password and rcon thus is disabled
Or just don't open TCP ports

but like for sv_password if u putted it blank it wont work or some thing u should make it "none" right?
i am not sure about rcon but possible thing try both "" and "none"

or just dont put an rcon pass in the config at all

Not setting an rcon password will disable rcon, same as not setting an sv_password will disable the password and it's public.

sv_password "none" will set the password to the word none. Either leave it out or put sv_password "" to make it public.

Don't even put in the "rcon_password" line... Just delete it entirely.

Works for me just now...

Agreed, I also found if putting a space between the quotes works just fine as well
