Turn on VNC in the FREAKHOSTING VPS Panel to see and control your server’s screen, even when SSH or the network isn’t working.
VNC shows your server’s screen as if you were sitting in front of it. It works even when you can’t connect over SSH or Remote Desktop, so it’s the tool to use when you’re locked out, the server won’t boot, or you’re installing from an ISO.
Go to Servers and click Manage next to the server.
