- Run PureRAT on your PC, then go to "Port Manager" and click "Relay Server".
- Right-click and select from the menu "Add Server".

- Now right-click again and select from the menu "Get Relay Server App".
- Copy the two files to your VPS.
- Use CMD or PowerShell to run the app.
- You will see an example of how to use the app, such as: --control 5000 --public 56001 --password pass123 --cert "C:\relay\server.pfx"
- --control corresponds to what you set during the "Add Server" step. --public is the port you used when building your client.exe.
- Start the RelayServer.
- Then go back to PureRAT, open "Build Settings", and enter your VPS IP (same as in the "Add Server" step) and the port (same as --public).
