# About⤶
⤶
The Companion Server is what Rust+ uses to communicate with Rust servers. If something is wrong with it then nobody will be able to view your server in Rust+, even if they pair with it. They will see it loading for a while before it says the server is offline.⤶
⤶
# Making it Work⤶
⤶
The only requirement for the companion server to work is to make the `app.port` TCP port accessible over the internet. Port forward, open it, add firewall rules for it.⤶
⤶
The default port is the game port + 67, or the RCon port + 67, whichever is the bigger. If you haven't changed any ports that means it will be 28082.⤶

# The "companion.id" File⤶
⤶
You may have noticed a `companion.id` file in your server's save folder recently. This file represents your server's identity to Rust+ and should always be kept with your server and its backups.⤶
⤶
Here's a list of rules for this file:⤶
⤶
* Do not give it to anyone else.⤶
* Do not use someone else's file.⤶
* Do not use the same file on multiple servers.⤶
* Do not randomly delete it.⤶
⤶
Breaking any of those rules will make your server behave weirdly in Rust+, disable notification permission for all your players, and probably require all players to re-pair with your server.⤶
⤶
A brand new identity will be generated for your server if you do delete it. There's no getting it back once it's gone!
