  6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 on each server of your High Availability/Load Balancing cluster. It is important to set a different value for each server but keeping the same Name.
  7. Open your favorite browser.
  8. Open the Developer Tools in the browser. Usually the F12 key will open the Developer Tools in Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.
  9. Browse to your Devolutions Server web page.
  10. Using Firefox, in the Network tab, you should find the Custom HTTP Response Header value of the answering server of the cluster.
