RackNerd KVM VPS’s come equipped with VNC out-of-band access by standard! This is useful for many purposes, such as if you ever find yourself in a situation where you may have accidentally incorrectly modified your SSH configuration, or if you have some sort of firewall rules blocking incoming network access to your server. Additionally it can be used to install a custom operating system via iso (but before doing so, you must follow the instructions within this article in order to request a custom ISO mount).

If you ever find yourself needing to access your RackNerd KVM VPS outside of SSH remote access – you can also access it via the HTML5 Console.

To do so, log into the ctrl control panel, located at https://ctrl.racknerd.com/

Once logged into ctrl, select the “Manage” button next to your VPS, and then select the “Console/VNC” button (2nd button). Then select the blue “Open HTML5 VNC Console” button. From there, a popup will appear with the VNC console accordingly.

For more information on how to navigate the rest of the ctrl control panel, see below video:
