In some cases, you may need to change this port to resolve network conflicts or to accommodate specific firewall settings. Managing this via the GGServers panel is a simple process. Follow the steps below to update your RCON port configuration.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Access the GGServers Control Panel<\/h3>\n<p>Navigate to the <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a> and log in. Select your Pavlov VR server from the dashboard to access its specific settings and management tools.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>Before modifying any network-related settings like the RCON port, it is mandatory to <strong>Stop<\/strong> your server. Changing ports while the server is running can lead to connection failures or prevent the new port from binding correctly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"Stopping the Pavlov VR server dashboard\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stop the server before making network changes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Look at the navigation menu on the left side of the panel.
