Rust server manager for Windows and Linux
What HaruHost does for Rust
Windows
Run the server on any Windows PC, from the desktop app or the background service.
Linux and VPS
Run it on an Ubuntu VPS or a Linux home server, installed with one command and managed from the web panel.
Tunnel Paid
When HaruHost runs as a service on Linux, friends find the server in Rust's own server list (search the Lobby Name), like any public server. No port forwarding, even behind CGNAT, through one of 14 regions.
Bans
See the server's existing bans, and ban or unban players while the server is stopped.
Automation Paid
Restart, update, back up and post to Discord on a schedule, after a crash or when the game updates.
Backups Paid
Back up the world with a keep count, on demand or from an automation, and restore it in one step.
Files Paid
Upload and download server files in the browser, with folders as ZIP.
Discord bot Paid
From Discord, start, stop, restart and update the server and ban or unban players while the server is stopped.
HaruHost fixes game problems as Rust updates. Report anything in the HaruHost Discord.

Rust server questions
Can HaruHost host Rust servers?
Yes, with you as the host. HaruHost runs Rust dedicated servers on your own Windows or Linux PC, home server or VPS: when HaruHost runs as a service on Linux, friends can join through the Tunnel without port forwarding (paid plans).
Can I host Rust servers on Linux?
Yes. Rust servers run on Windows and Linux, and you manage them from the desktop app or the web panel.
Do my friends need port forwarding to join?
Not on a VPS, and not with the Tunnel. On a VPS, friends join at its public address once your port range is open in the provider's firewall, if it has one. At home, when HaruHost runs as a service on Linux, the Tunnel (paid plans) lets them join through one of 14 regions without router changes. On Windows, HaruHost's router and firewall helpers open the game's ports where your network allows it.
