Under the hood
How RCON Hub connects to 7 Days to Die
7 Days to Die has two ways in: telnet and the game's Web API. On your PC, RCON Hub sets a new telnet password at every start and keeps the console port closed to the internet. On rented servers, telnet is plain text, so the Web API is the better choice when your host offers it. Rented servers are tested on a real Nitrado server: console, restart, kicks and bans, staff, backups, settings, wipes and mods.
Bans
Banning players on 7 Days to Die
Ban in all games
RCON Hub can ban one person on every server of every game you run, from one page. Here's how that ban reaches 7 Days to Die: ban add Steam_<id> on every server whose console is connected, and for their EOS id too once they've played. A server that's offline gets it when it's back.
ClanStop global bans (Fair-Fight)
On servers where you turn it on, a clear cheat confirmed by ClanStop keeps a player off every server that enforces global bans. A match kicks the player from that server right away; only ClanStop can make a ban global, after re-checking the evidence. How global bans work. How to set it up, step by step (English guide).
| Rule | When it matches | Repeats |
|---|---|---|
| Gun range | a gun kill beyond 1.5× that gun's range in the server's own items.xml (pistol beyond 75 m, rifles beyond 225 m) | 2 |
| Fire rate | direct kills faster than half the weapon's fastest possible rate | 2 |
| Speed | faster than 80 m/s for a minute — faster than any vehicle | 2 |
| Killed while dead or goneall games | a kill more than 10 s after the killer died or left, or before they joined | 1 |
| Kill beyond the mapall games | a kill distance larger than the map's own diagonal | 1 |
| Dead attackerall games | hits or kills while logged dead | 1 |
The game's kill lines have no weapon or distance, so today only the speed rule and the common session rule can run here. The gun-range rule also needs a server without mods. Every rule ships switched off until it's been checked on a live server.

7 Days to Die server manager FAQ
Will a restart ever happen during horde night?
No. Daily restarts, monitoring restarts, updates, scheduled backups and wipes wait until after the blood moon, and the Server page says when something was moved.
Telnet or the Web API?
Either works. Telnet is plain text, so for a rented server the Web API is the better choice when your host gives you a token for it. RCON Hub can also write a Web API token into the server for you.
Do bans work for crossplay players?
Yes. Bans go by EOS id and platform id, so they hold whether the player joins from Steam, Xbox or PlayStation.
What happens with code mods?
Code mods (a .dll) mean players install them and start without anti-cheat, unless you mark them server only. RCON Hub warns you and can turn anti-cheat off for the next start, which also turns crossplay off.
Is there a free RCON tool for 7 Days to Die?
Yes. RCON Hub's 7 Days to Die tool is free for Windows. It uses telnet or the game's Web API for the console, players, chat, kicks and bans, and adds what the console can't: the settings editor, mods, backups and wipes.
How do I host a 7 Days to Die server on my PC?
Add a server on this PC. RCON Hub installs it with SteamCMD (stable or experimental), sets the world, slots and ports, and checks whether friends can join: ports, Windows Firewall, your router and CGNAT.
Can I manage a Nitrado 7 Days to Die server?
Yes. Paste a Nitrado long-life token and pick the server: the address, telnet port and password are read from its own serverconfig.xml. A Pterodactyl panel (BisectHosting and others) works with its API key, and Fix it for me turns telnet on for you; other hosts with telnet or the Web API plus FTP or SFTP. Tested on a real Nitrado server.
Is the 7 Days to Die server manager ready?
Yes. Its tools have been tested on a real 7 Days to Die server. Adding a rented server (Nitrado, a Pterodactyl panel or FTP) is still marked Preview until it has been fully tried on a real host. RCON Hub is beta software, so back up before big changes.
Where can I get help with the 7 Days to Die server manager?
Ask on ClanStop's Discord. Server owners and the RCON Hub team answer setup questions, bug reports and game requests there. The link is in the menu and at the bottom of every page.
