Introduction#
Two years ago, when Oracle launched its permanent cloud servers, the blogger heard about it, but feedback from netizens indicated that issues such as difficulty in registration and easy account suspension deterred many.
It wasn't until two months ago that the blogger successfully registered the first Oracle server in the India region using mobile broadband and a dual-currency credit card, setting up their own game accelerator and cloud Windows. In the following 7 days, the blogger attempted to register five more times, with the first three attempts failing (Broadcast Card Traffic + other dual-currency credit cards), while the last two were successful.
Currently, the blogger owns Oracle servers in Mumbai, India, San Jose, USA, and West Singapore, with latency being Singapore < USA < India. Popular regions often have insufficient supply of ARM machines, while less popular areas have higher latency, so please consider this carefully.
Tips#
The blogger found that Oracle does not verify the authenticity of addresses and names during registration; it only relates to IP purity and device. The last two successful registrations used a ZEN physical card (issued in Lithuania) and a Monese physical card (issued in Germany), while also renting residential IPs from Lithuania and Germany, using a fingerprint browser to isolate devices, and Google Maps for real Lithuanian and German residential addresses. For tools, refer to the article "How to 'Clone' Yourself in the Online World?".
Installing Windows#
Oracle provides each free account with a total of 4+24 configuration ARM machine, meaning users can combine them arbitrarily, such as running four 1+6 ARM machines or one 4+24 machine. The free ARM machine has sufficient performance to install the Windows system, meeting users' daily remote usage needs for Windows machines.
Creating a Machine#
Create a new instance, edit the image and configuration, select ubuntu for the system, and ARM for the configuration. Next, download Save Private Key, uncheck Encrypt in Transit, and uncheck all Oracle cloud server monitoring.
The Oracle user terms state that if the machine's memory, CPU, and disk usage do not meet standards, it is considered an idle machine, and the official has the right to reclaim idle Oracle accounts.
Installation Process#
After creation, wait a moment, then check the Public IP and username (ubuntu) on the machine details page and copy them. Import the private key, and paste the IP and username into the SSH application to connect to the cloud server.
In the cloud server, enter the following code; the first line switches to root privileges, the second line downloads the script and starts running it. Wait for the script to finish running, then enter the third line of code to reboot the server, at which point SSH will disconnect and cannot connect.
sudo -i
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bin456789/reinstall/main/reinstall.sh || wget -O reinstall.sh $_
bash reinstall.sh dd --img https://r2.hotdog.eu.org/win11-arm-with-pagefile-15g.xz
reboot
Open the Oracle cloud machine details page, find the Console Link, and start Cloud Shell Connection. You can then see the server downloading the Windows 11 system after rebooting, waiting for the download and installation of the Win11 system to complete.
Open the webpage https://tcp.ping.pe, enter the cloud server's public IP:3389, and refresh repeatedly until a green successful message appears, indicating that the 3389 remote port can be connected. Do not use RDP to connect to the server when in a red failed state, as too many failures will result in a connection ban.
Configuring Windows#
Open the Windows remote tool (RDP), enter the cloud server's public IP, username administrator, and password 123@@@ to remotely connect to the Windows server.
Adding a New User#
Immediately after connecting, open settings to Add User, set a new password, check Password Never Expires, and grant the new user Administrator Privileges. Finally, disable the administrator account; otherwise, you will never be able to connect to the Win11 server again.
Modifying the Port#
Press WIN+R and enter regedit to jump to the registry, navigate to the following path to find PortNumber, switch to Decimal, and modify the new port number (e.g., 8383) to replace the default port 3389.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
Run and enter wf.msc to jump to the firewall, create a new inbound rule, select port, enter the new port number, and save it; otherwise, the cloud Win11 cannot connect again.
Expanding the Main Disk#
Run and open diskmgmt.msc to jump to disk management, right-click on the C drive, select Extend Volume, and extend all remaining unallocated disk space to the C drive.
Disabling the Shutdown Key#
After shutting down the cloud Win11, you can only restart the server on the Oracle webpage to reconnect, so disable the shutdown key through the registry, keeping only the disconnect and restart keys.
Press WIN+R and enter regedit to jump to the registry, navigate to the following path to find value, and change the default hexadecimal value 0 to 1.
Finally, click the restart key in the menu bar to restart the cloud Win, change the RDP client's public IP: to the new port (e.g., 8383), and modify the username and password to the new user created earlier to reconnect to the Win11 server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Start\HideShutDown
Expanding the Server Disk#
Open the Oracle instance details page, click Edit, find the boot volume, click, and edit the Boot Volume. The default space is 47GB, and it can be expanded to a maximum of 200GB (the total space of all machines for free accounts must not exceed 200GB).
