 A lot of VPS providers block ports 465 and 25.
 
 A simple way to check is using telnet. To test in the Linux terminal type `telnet your.mailserver.com 25`. On Windows use PowerShell with `Test-NetConnection -ComputerName your.mailserver.com -Port 25`.
 
 Your mail server may not be using port 25. Please make sure you are using the correct ports.

 2. We want to be here and still making great progress in years to come.
 3. The open source version will continue to be open source and we encourage others to make developments in line with the AGPL license.

 1. Ensure you have `rustdesk-utils` installed. If not you can get it [here](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro). Also you need to execute the command from the folder where the database is, i.e. `/var/lib/rustdesk-server`.
 2. The command is `rustdesk-utils set_password username password`. If it works it will say *Done*.
 
 You also have the following other commands `genkeypair`, `validatekeypair [public key] [secret key]`, `doctor [rustdesk-server]`, `reset_email_verification` and `reset_2fa_verification` which can be used with `rustdesk-utils`.
