Host Settings is found below Activity Logs in the left sidebar of your Cloud Dashboard. Use the host selector at the top to switch between hosts. The Host tab is the third of three tabs, see also Proxy Tab and Proxy Rotation Tab.
The Host tab covers host-level configuration that affects how your server operates as a whole, from enabling the Cloud Router and customizing network parameters, to rebooting the host and generating remote support sessions. Most settings in this tab are exclusive to Linux Agent hosts. Android Agent hosts have access to Host Name only. Full details for each setting are covered below.
Tip: Most settings have a (?) tooltip, hover over it for a quick description without leaving the page.
