Open a server and select the Settings tab. You need permission to manage servers. Transfer also requires owner/admin access and another eligible organization.

​
General

​
Display label

The display label is what you see in the dashboard and organization lists.
  • Change it anytime under Server Settings
  • It does not change the hostname, DNS, certificates, or VPN client configs
  • Archive and delete confirmations still ask for the permanent DNS name shown in the dialog (not the display label)

​
Hostname and Check DNS

Hostname is the permanent FQDN under *.server.tunnelfleet.com. It is locked after creation, along with the public IP. Use Check DNS when clients cannot resolve the hostname, or after IP/DNS issues:
  1. Open Settings → Server Settings
  2. Click Check DNS next to the hostname
  3. Review the result (healthy, missing, mismatch, or still propagating)
  4. If repair is available, click Fix DNS record to recreate or update the A record for this hostname
Public DNS can take a few minutes to catch up after a repair. Wait and run Check DNS again if the status is still propagating.

​
Archive server

Archive stops VPN service on the server but keeps the TunnelFleet record and DNS so you can restore later.
1

Click Archive server

In Danger, choose Archive server.
2

Confirm

Type the exact permanent DNS name shown in the dialog, then click Confirm.
What happens:
  • VPN protocols are stopped
  • Clients cannot connect until you unarchive
  • The server is hidden from the live servers list
  • DNS for *.server.tunnelfleet.com is kept
On an archived server you can Unarchive or Delete server.

​
Transfer server

Move the server to another organization you belong to.
1

Click Transfer server

In Danger, choose Transfer server.
2

Choose destination

Select a Destination organization from the list.
3

Transfer

Click Transfer server and wait for the redirect to the destination org.
What happens:
  • The server record moves immediately to the destination organization
  • TunnelFleet does not move or rebuild the VPS at your cloud provider
  • The physical machine and public IP stay the same
Transfer is disabled if:
  • You are not an owner or admin
  • You have no other unlocked organization with available server quota where you are an owner or admin

​
Delete server

Permanently remove the server from TunnelFleet.
1

Click Delete server

In Danger, choose Delete server.
2

Confirm

Type the exact permanent DNS name shown in the dialog, then click Confirm. Deleted servers cannot be restored.
What happens:
  • The server is permanently removed from TunnelFleet
  • Associated DNS is cleaned up
  • Your cloud VPS itself is not destroyed — cancel or delete the VPS at your provider if you no longer need the machine
For DigitalOcean servers, delete removes the server from TunnelFleet only. The droplet stays in your DigitalOcean account (and may keep billing) until you destroy it there. Prefer Archive when you might bring the server back. Prefer Delete when you are done with it in TunnelFleet.
