Can I use my Nepal RDP to access eSewa or Khalti merchant tools?
Consumer wallet apps are designed for phones, but merchant dashboards, settlement reports and bank statements are often available through web portals, and these work normally on a Kathmandu desktop. The Nepali IP keeps your logins consistent, which helps avoid unnecessary security checks. Payment authorisation still happens through your phone and the provider's own security, so keep PINs and OTPs on your mobile device. Use the desktop for reconciliation, exporting reports and keeping accounting records safe in one place, rather than for storing passwords.
How can Nepalis working abroad use the desktop?
Many Nepalis in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia or South Korea still need to access Nepali banks, land records, tax portals or family business files. From abroad, those sites may ask for extra verification or behave differently. With a Kathmandu RDP, you connect from your phone or laptop wherever you are, and all browsing happens from a Nepali IP. Relatives in Nepal can have their own login to the same desktop to share documents. Keep the desktop secure with strong passwords and two-factor authentication on important accounts.
Is the desktop good for freelance design work?
Yes, with the right plan. The four-core plan with 8 GB of memory handles Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma in a browser and similar tools comfortably, while the eight-core plan with 16 GB suits heavier design and light video editing. Remote desktop sessions transmit screen updates efficiently, so the experience is smooth even on average home connections. The real advantage is reliability: your files and applications live on a hosted machine, uploads finish while you are offline, and a broken laptop no longer means a missed client deadline.
Are proxy and game servers permitted?
The Kathmandu platform supports proxy and game server use, as long as your activity complies with Nepali law, the terms of any services you connect to and our acceptable use policy. Public proxies that are used for spam, fraud or attacks are not allowed and will lead to suspension. Game servers for friends or small communities work well on the four- or eight-core plans. If you plan something larger or commercial, discuss it with our team first so we can recommend a suitable configuration and port speed.
Can I type in Nepali on the desktop?
Yes. Windows supports Nepali Unicode fonts and keyboard layouts, including the traditional and Romanised input methods. Enable them in the language settings and you can type Devanagari in documents, browsers and messaging apps. This is useful for writing invoices, letters, social media posts or website content in Nepali. Legacy Preeti or Kantipur documents can be converted to Unicode with free utilities you are welcome to install. Government forms that require Unicode Nepali can then be filled in directly on the desktop.
What happens if my home internet goes down?
Nothing happens to your desktop. It keeps running in the Kathmandu data centre, including any downloads, uploads or programs you left open. When your connection returns, or if you switch to mobile data, simply reconnect and continue exactly where you left off. This is one of the biggest advantages of an RDP for Nepali freelancers and businesses: interruptions at your location no longer interrupt your work. Remember to save documents regularly, as good practice for any computer. Freelancers on tight Upwork deadlines find this peace of mind invaluable during monsoon season outages.
How do I pay from Nepal?
Nepali bank cards are often limited for international payments, so we accept several alternatives. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Perfect Money and PayPal are popular with Nepali freelancers, and cards from any country are accepted too. Relatives abroad can also pay on your behalf. Billing is in dollars each month; a few months in advance is fine as well. If you are unsure which option suits you, contact our billing team and they will guide you. Nepali freelancers who receive earnings through Payoneer can also use its card where supported.
Can I increase port speed or resources later?
Yes. Both the internet port and the desktop's resources can be scaled. If you need faster transfers for large uploads or more cores and memory for heavier software, contact support or request an upgrade from the client area. Your Windows installation, files and Nepali IP remain unchanged, and the change usually requires only a short restart. Billing is adjusted for the rest of the month, so you only pay for what you use. Downgrades are possible at renewal if a busy season ends.
