Just a quick note - make sure your RCON password is complex and unique! You wouldn't want any unwanted visitors taking control of your server.

Why bother? Just keep it simple and don't share it.

Setting the RCON password in CS:GO is super simple! Just open your server.cfg file (create one if it doesn't exist in your cfg folder), and add the line 'rcon_password "yourpasswordhere"'. Just replace "yourpasswordhere" with a password of your choice. This will let you execute remote commands securely.

From experience, after you set that RCON password, remembering it is key. Lost count of how many times I had to reset 'cause I forgot mine.
