Starting the Server

Direct Binary Start​

From the server directory:

./abdal-4iproto-server

On Windows:

.\abdal-4iproto-server.exe

Before You Start Checklist​

  • id_rsa is present
  • server_config.json defines the intended ports
  • users.json contains production-ready credentials
  • Firewall rules allow the configured ports

Service Mode​

If you installed via Abdal 4iProto CLI, prefer the system service created by the CLI so the server survives reboots.

After Startup​

  1. Confirm listeners are active on configured ports
  2. Authenticate with a test user
  3. Validate tunnel creation from a supported client

Continue with Connecting to the Server.
