W Warden
Built and used on live DayZ servers

Run your DayZ servers
from your phone

Live admin chat from £3 a month. Kick, ban and the alert that actually matters — the one that tells you your server has stopped answering — from £6. Unlimited admins on every plan.

Cancel any time · No setup fee · Works on any BattlEye DayZ server

Chat that looks like chat

Coloured avatars, grouped messages, system noise dimmed out of the way. Not a log table with a scrollbar.

Downtime alerts that work

A hung DayZ server keeps its socket open and answers nothing, so most monitors call it healthy. Warden watches for silence instead.

A real phone app

Installs to your home screen. Swipe a player to kick. Built for the times you are not at your desk, which is most of them.

Unlimited admins, always

Every plan. Your whole staff team gets in without paying per seat — the thing that makes the others expensive.

Questions

What do I need to connect a server?

Your BattlEye RCON details — the IP, the RCON port and the password from your BEServer.cfg. Warden checks them the moment you add a server, so you know straight away if they are wrong rather than staring at an empty screen.

Is my RCON password safe?

It is encrypted with a key stored outside the database, so a stolen database file is not a stolen fleet of servers. Your account password is never stored at all, only a scrypt hash.

Does it work with modded servers?

Yes. Warden talks BattlEye RCON, which every DayZ server runs regardless of mods. Chernarus, Livonia, Sakhal, community maps — all the same.

What happens if my card fails?

You drop to the Basic features until it is sorted, and nothing is deleted. Locking you out of your own servers over an expired card would be a strange way to treat a customer.

Can I cancel?

Any time, from Stripe's receipt or by emailing us. You keep access until the end of the month you have paid for.

Is this battleWarden?

No — different thing, no connection. battleWarden is a free Windows program you run on your own PC. Warden by T.A.G is hosted: it stays connected when your PC is off, so the downtime alert reaches you at work and chat keeps being watched overnight. Every admin on your team signs in from their own phone rather than sharing one desktop. If a free desktop tool covers what you need, use it — this is for teams who want it running all the time.

Where does player chat come from?

Not from RCON — on current DayZ, BattlEye RCON never carries what players type. Every line of Direct and Global chat is in your server's admin log (the .ADM file), so Warden reads it from there using the FTP details your host already gives you for file access. Read-only, and nothing is installed on your server.

How is this different from a desktop RCON tool?

A desktop RCON tool only works while your PC is on and you are sat at it, and only for you. Warden runs all the time: it watches your servers when nobody is looking, sends the downtime and keyword alerts to Discord or your phone, and every admin on your team signs in from their own phone with their own login.

How many admins can I add?

As many as you like, on every plan including Basic. Charging per seat punishes you for having a staff team, which is backwards.
