You can reach your server's screen from your browser, with nothing extra to install. The console works even if SSH stops working or your firewall locks you out.

## Opening the console

1. Open **My Servers** in the panel and click your server.
2. Open the **VNC Console** or **Serial Console** tool.
3. Click the screen. Keyboard and mouse only reach the server after you click it.

## Which one should I use?

- **VNC Console:** you see the server's screen. Use it for Windows, installers and boot problems.
- **Serial Console:** a text login. It's handy for command-line work on Linux servers.

## Good to know

- Your browser's copy and paste shortcuts don't work on the VNC screen. Send long text or a password with **Send Text**.
- Use the **Ctrl+Alt+Del** button for the Windows sign-in screen.
- Installers start with a US keyboard. If special characters come out differently, use **Send Text** again.
