VNC, remote console with graphical interface

​
Understanding VNC

Imagine if you could sit in front of a remote computer from anywhere in the world and use it as if you’re right there. That’s VNC. It lets you see and interact with your VPS even if the normal ways of connecting (like SSH or RDP) are broken.

​
Understanding noVNC (Console)

noVNC provides a convenient way to access VNC servers from any device through almost any modern web browser, eliminating the need for dedicated client software (has limitations vs desktop VNC client though).

​
How to activate VNC in the control panel

Through the KVM management portal, you can enable VNC for each VPS individually. Once VNC is turned on, noVNC or a desktop VNC client can be used to connect.
