What is a Rune 2 VPS?
A Rune 2 VPS gives your clan its own always-on RUNE II: Decapitation Edition server: a DDoS-protected virtual server with full root access that keeps your Midgard battles running 24/7, even after the host player logs off.
This is not a managed game server — the VPS is yours. You set up the RUNE II dedicated server yourself with full root access, with a guide in the Help Center to help, then set the server name, password and rules for your group.
Root access means you decide everything else: run a Discord bot or other tools next to the game, tune the system to your needs, or, as an experienced admin, set things up manually if you prefer.
Why a VPS
Everything your RUNE II server needs to run 24/7
Root access, RUNE II server setup under your control and a daily system Backup — the foundation for a clan server that stays online.
Set up your own RUNE II server
Set up your RUNE II dedicated server yourself on the VPS with full root access, supported by a guide in the Help Center.
VPS online within 60 seconds
Your crew can head into Midgard the same evening, because the VPS is provisioned automatically right after ordering.
Full root access, your rules
You decide who joins and what runs: full root access lets you set passwords, firewall rules and admins yourself.
Daily automatic system Backup
Your clan's progress is safer with a daily system Backup included; own Backups and restores come with ZapX Pass.
Your own server resources
Battles keep running when the host player logs off, because the server runs on VPS resources instead of a home PC.
Locations in Europe and America
Your players connect to a nearby data center: choose the location closest to your community when you order.

Which ports does my RUNE II server need open?
I can explain how to check which ports your server listens on and how to allow them in your firewall. I can apply the changes for you after you confirm, or you can apply them yourself.
How can I tell if the firewall blocks players?
I'll show you which firewall rules to look at and how to test the connection from outside, so you can spot a blocked port quickly.
