Garry's Mod servers utilize many popular features for server management, such as remote connection or RCON access for server administrators and moderators. RCON allows users to remotely send commands to the server's console, allowing them to be executed in-game. In addition to the base commands available with RCON, additional ULX commands can be issued using the same method, making it a perfect combination for owners wanting more control over their servers.
