Well, i've seen alot of people renting out dedicated servers to run their KalOnline servers on - it's a huge expense and it's aggrovating when you get hacked! So i've decided to tell you guys how to secure your terminal services such as RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). The tool i use on my server is something called "2X Secure RDP" which can be obtained from http://www.2x.com/securerdp/

A Short introduction to the program can be found on the site.

What do i need to do?

First of all you need to download the application - located on the website above.
You then need to install it, and configure it. Some screenshots are below to show you how to configure it.

Step 1:

Adding a Computer Name-

First of all you need to find out your Computer name is, the easiest way possible of obtaining your computer name is doing the following:

Click Start, Run then enter in "cmd" - a command propt window will pop up - enter in this command "ipconfig /all"

You should get something like this:

masked out my MAC address and computer name for security issues.
Anyway, since you've found your computer name, note it down!

Step 1 - part 2.

Adding your Computer Name

Ok, you have your Computer name, and you have 2X RDP installed. Open 2X RDP up, click on Computer Name

Next click Add - located underneath the highlighted area on the picture above.

You should get this dialogue:

After you have entered in your computer name - click ok.

You have successfully added a computer name to the allowed hosts list!

Click the close button in the right, Click Save when it asks you to!

Restart your server after this has been done.

That's all for now, i'll add more things to this thread a little later on!
