In your server.cfg you have:
rcon_password "whatever"
Then ingame you type:
rcon_password "whatever"
rcon
rcon <whatever>

Yeah some do, some dont. Prolly because you are on the same network.

How do I make RCON work while I'm in the game? I host my game on a server located in a data center and I play from home so RCON would really help. I keep getting an error about unable to connect to server.

RCon works on TCP 27015, that port needs to be forwarded if you want to use RCon on the external IP
Also sometimes RCon binds to the wrong IP on the server, setting rcon_address <ipaddresshere> in the server.cfg can help solve the problem.
RCon can also try to connect to the wrong IP on the client, type rcon_address <ipofserverhere> in the console to make sure it's correct. If your server is on your own network use the internal IP of the server, if it's in a datacenter use the external IP of the server.

I think RCon stays on 27015, I also think there was a startup command to set a different port but I'm not sure on this actually since I never bothered changing it myself.

Same as the normal gameserver port, if you don't specify a static port like 27015 and 27020 on the second server, the server will choose the first port available, so if you have a server running at 27015, you start up a second server it will try to go on 27015, but that's taken so it goes to 27016.
I think that's how RCon works too, and I think RCon had a command just like -port but I'm not sure where I had seen that and if it still works.
