Vantic for Rust Console Edition
The Rust Console Bot for Nitrado Servers
Nitrado is the easiest host to connect a Rust Console bot to, because it uses an account link rather than copied credentials. You link your Nitrado account in a single approval and choose your server from a list, and that link keeps itself alive instead of lapsing. Nitrado is a first-class host in Vantic, built by an owner who runs on it, so the platform's specific quirks and its outage patterns are already handled and reported as the host's fault rather than yours. From there the whole feature set, killfeed, store, kits, economy and raid protection, runs on your server with nothing else to configure.
Built by an owner who runs on Nitrado - the quirks are handled.
Connecting a Nitrado server
Connecting a Nitrado server is a one-click account link, not a copy-paste of credentials. You approve Vantic on Nitrado's own consent page and pick your server from a list - no IPs, ports or passwords to hunt down - and the link renews itself automatically. (Direct-RCON hosts like G-Portal use the Connect Doctor, which tests the link before saving and names the exact cause if something is off.)
Credentials are encrypted at rest and the connection is watched continuously by the Truth Layer - a heartbeat about every 30 seconds - which reconnects automatically and never claims 'online' without proof.
Nitrado outages, handled
When Nitrado's console service hiccups, Vantic keeps retrying with backoff and holds every queued delivery until the link returns - then flushes them in order. If your Rust Console bot keeps disconnecting, that is what is happening under the hood. If many Nitrado servers drop simultaneously, the platform-outage detector says it is Nitrado's side, saving you the 2am debugging session.

Frequently asked questions
Does Vantic support Nitrado Rust Console servers?
Yes - Nitrado is a first-class host, including outage-pattern detection specific to it.
What if Nitrado changes my connection details?
The Truth Layer detects rejected credentials, pauses instead of hammering the host, and tells your admin log to update the details in the Connect Doctor.
Will deliveries be lost during a Nitrado outage?
No - purchases and kit deliveries queue durably and fire the moment the connection returns.
Can I run G-Portal and Nitrado servers together?
Yes - each server connects with its own details and runs independently, one subscription per server.
