You can close the VPS connection without logging off. Just close it and the VPS is still running whatever you were doing before.
VPS connection
But when i login again, there,s no terminal to see, i have to open it again.
Now i just try what EACreator is saying and this works, then vps opens with the terminal.
So i can close with Ctrl /Alt and End and close the computer completely?

You only lock it, that no one can log in without a password, but Windows with Metatrader and EA keeps running. It's not possible to run EA on VPS which is shut down. However you can definitely turn off your computer any time![](https://c.mql5.com/forextsd/smiles/wink.png)
Thank you for your answer.
yep, if u use a vps, leave mt4 running, don't log out, but lock your computer.
I have found some other providers

Windows 2008 VPS![](https://c.mql5.com/forextsd/smiles/smile.png)
Linux servers do not come with visual interface, metatrader work only on windows....
