10. Ensure your router also have "Port Forwarding" configured to match the RustDesk's ports as above.

11. At another computer, open any internet browser (eg. Chrome) and browse to http://[your domain]:8000 and you will prompted for username & password to login, use the same username and password save in above steps.

12. After successful login, proceed to download the installer for Windows, its a PowerShell script. After download proceed to run the script (run as admin).

13. Once installation completed, you can open/run the RustDesk Client on your computer.

Note: as of writing, the "Address Book" function was still under development and there are no timeline available for the release, thus the "Login" function in the "Address Book" module will return an error message.
