### Overview

This is a Windows dedicated server designed for emulator workloads. Common emulator options include:

* NoxPlayer
* BlueStacks
* MEmu
* LDPlayer

### Connect (RDP)

1. Get the server IP, username, and password from the delivery email.
2. Use Remote Desktop (RDP) to connect.
3. Change the password after first login.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the portal shows `IP:PORT`, use that port for RDP.
{% endhint %}

### Client Area features (Server Panel)

In the Client Area, your server page is split into cards.

You can copy most values by clicking them.

#### API error banner (temporary)

If you see **“Unable to load server data”**, the upstream API is unavailable.

Some server information may be outdated.

Click **Retry** and reload the page after a minute.

#### Server Details

Use **Server Details** to quickly grab access information:

* **Hostname** and current status.
* **Primary IP** (sometimes shown as `IP:PORT`).
* **IPv6 network** (if enabled).
* **Username** (usually `Administrator`).
* **Initial password**.
* **Operating system** (example: Windows Server 2022 Datacenter).
* **Location / Datacenter**.
* **Traffic** (example: unlimited).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Treat the portal password as sensitive. Rotate it after first login.
{% endhint %}

#### Additional IP Addresses

If your service includes extra IPs, they appear in **Additional IP Addresses**.

Use those IPs for extra RDP endpoints or outbound IP separation.

#### Billing Information

Billing shows:

* Product name.
* Service status.
* Registration date.
* Recurring amount and billing cycle.
* Next due date and remaining days.
* Payment method.

### Power Controls

Power controls help when Windows is frozen, or RDP is down.

You may see multiple reset types:

* **Software**: sends `Ctrl+Alt+Del` (when available).
* **Power**: presses the power button (ACPI signal).
* **Force Off**: long power press. Immediate shutdown.
* **Hardware**: reset button. Hard reboot.
* **Manual**: technician reset in the datacenter.
* **Wake on LAN**: sends a magic packet to power on.

How it works:

* **Power (press power button)** turns on the server if off.
* If running, it triggers a graceful OS shutdown signal.
* **Force Off (long power press)** cuts power immediately.
* Use it only when the OS is unresponsive.
* **Hardware reset** is like pressing a physical reset button.
* **Manual power cycle** is the most drastic option.

Notes:

* **Wake on LAN** only helps when the server is powered off.
* **Manual** may take time. Support confirms completion by email.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Force Off and Hardware reset can corrupt disks. Use them last.
{% endhint %}

### Rescue Mode

Rescue mode boots a minimal recovery OS over the network.

Use it for:

* Emergency access when Windows won’t boot.
* Disk checks and file recovery.
* Repairing boot issues.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### 1) Enable Rescue Mode

1. Open **Rescue Mode**.
2. Choose an **operating system** (example: `linux` or `vkvm`).
3. Choose your **keyboard layout**.
4. Click **Enable**.

The portal will show a temporary rescue password.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2) Reboot into Rescue

Perform a reset from **Power Controls**.

The server boots into rescue on the next reboot.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3) Work, then exit

Rescue activation is valid for **60 minutes**.

After that, reboot again to start the installed OS.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Rescue mode is not Windows. It is mainly for recovery tasks.
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary>How Rescue Mode works</summary>

After activation, a configuration is created on the DHCP side.

On the next reboot, the server boots from the network.

A minimal OS is loaded via TFTP.

Rescue activation stays valid for 60 minutes.

</details>

### Firewall

Firewall lets you control inbound and outbound traffic from the portal.

Key points:

* Rules are processed **top to bottom**.
* Unmatched packets are blocked by default.
* Applying changes can take **30–40 seconds**.

Use **Manage Rules** to edit inbound and outbound rules.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not block RDP unless you have an alternative access path.
{% endhint %}

IPv6 notes:

* ICMPv6 is always allowed.
* IPv6 rules may not support IP-based filtering.

### Reverse DNS (PTR)

Reverse DNS lets you set a PTR record for an IP.

Workflow:

1. Select the IP address.
2. Enter a PTR hostname (example: `server.example.com`).
3. Optionally load the current PTR.
4. Click **Save**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
PTR must point to a valid hostname. That hostname must resolve back to the same IP.
{% endhint %}

### Stability tips

* Keep Windows updated.
* Avoid installing unnecessary background apps.
* Monitor CPU/RAM/disk usage during emulator runs.

### Need support?

Include these details in your ticket:

* Your server IP
* Emulator name + version
* Screenshot of the error
* What changed right before it started failing
