For SSH and VNC, user email prefixes must match their username on the server. RDP leverages your existing Windows username and passwords for authenticating to the Windows server; Cloudflare does not manage any credentials on the Windows server.

+## Limitations
 
-## Enable browser rendering
+- Browser rendering is only supported for [self-hosted public applications](/cloudflare-one/applications/configure-apps/self-hosted-public-app/), not private IPs or hostnames.
+- You can only render a browser-rendered terminal on domains and subdomains, not on specific paths.
+- Cloudflare does not control the length of an active SSH, VNC, or RDP session. [Application session durations](/cloudflare-one/identity/users/session-management/) only determine the window in which a user can initiate a new connection.
