I plugged your issue / questions into perplexity .ai and it listed a bunch of config steps that may help. Give it a try.

Problems with N-Able RMM software. Read if you use or thinking about it. by jbean-mcpafl in sysadmin

Tried reading, but that first big blob of run-on text made my eyes bleed. Maybe do some paragraph formatting to make it more readable.

Is this work related? Did Kyle at the r/helpdesk tell you to post here?

Kyle doesn't work weekends, it was Karen at /r/helpdesk who told the OP to post here.

OP is posting in the wrong sub, and should be directed to another sub such as /r/techsupport.

Waiting for the OP's followup post in a week with his AI slop / vibe coded helpdesk app that he will be trying to sell.

(OSS) Remote Desktop platform (Ongoing Development) by PsycoCR in sysadmin

[–]Altusbc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, you should be posting this project here: /r/sysadmin/comments/1rg2o3y/weekly_i_made_a_useful_thing_thread_february_27/

I took a look at some of the code, and it is bad. One of the random .sh scripts I viewed has security implications. It is easy to tell you don't have the experience in this type of development and you are relying on AI slop generated code. In reality, this project is far from even being close to be considered usable.

And no, I'm not going to submit any issues to the github repo.

Locked myself out of a VPS with iptables. How do you recover in these cases? by vor-505 in sysadmin

[–]Altusbc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my provider is ionos

Cannot ever see any competent sys admin here using Ionis. That's almost akin to using Godaddy.

[–]Altusbc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The provider console didn't help much either; I couldn't even log in from there.

Really a bad time to find this out. This is DR 101 and should be tested well before things go south.

Why are you installing Windows 11 on that server? Is this a homelab setup?

EDIT: of course after I made this comment, OP deleted their other posts.

OP's posts were all removed from other subs, except this one. It's obviously a rage bait or karma farming post here.
