How to run the server.

## Running The Server

For automatic server installation run `Black Ops 4 Demonware Server` shortcut on your desktop.

For manual server installation run `server.exe` (located where you installed the DW server).

The webpanel can be opened at the address <http://localhost:8080/>. (default address for the host)

**NB:** If you are on a VPS, you need to have forward the TCP port 8080 to access the webserver on another network.

Otherwise view it here <http://localhost:8080/>..
