Turning off anti-cheat on a Rust server is usually discouraged, as it can create an uneven playing field and risk undermining the game’s integrity. That said, there are cases where it may be required — for example, when testing mods or custom changes that interfere with anti-cheat systems. Some servers might also temporarily disable it for special events or alternative game modes that operate under different rules or mechanics.
Log in to the ChipHead Panel.

Stop the server.

Open the Startup tab.

In the Additional Arguments field, enter the following:+server.secure 0 +server.encryption 0 +server.eac 0

Start the server.
