DayZ RCon Port and BEServer_x64.cfg (Safe Defaults)

Safe defaults

1. Set a long random RConPassword in BEServer_x64.cfg (name may vary by build).
2. Align RConPort with the panel allocation if dedicated.
3. Prefer restricting source IPs when your tooling allows.
4. Test via CFTools, then avoid casual public exposure.

RCon is powerful — treat it like root for your DayZ box.
