Virtual Display for VPS

Question

Hey guys, So I am stuck in this situation for some days. I have like 3 different VPS, one from MS Azure, one from Kamatera, and one from VPSSERVER. I have a macro script which basically does clicking and key presses on browser (It's on macro recorder, I couldn't use browser based macro like Imacros, because my work needs some clicks on extensions and browser settings which browser based macros can't do). Now the thing is, it needs the display to run right. When I run it on VPS it runs fine but as soon as I disconnect the rdp, the screen goes blank so there is no display and in result my script stops. I have tried so many solutions but none worked, I tried to do this VNC thing but couldn't connect, but I think VNC wouldn't work too? what I need is, my machine should have a display like normally our PC/Laptop do so even If I totally disconnect the VPS or close my laptop and it should still work on VPS. I am ready to spend some money but I really need this. For a moment I thought about setting a laptop in my home, but I have to travel sometimes and so this would fail. After so much research, some sites even said it's almost not possible but I found this.

Google is providing a virtual display driver for their Virtual Machines? Is this what I require, I am quite not sure. Can someone confirm if this it, then I will just get it.

Hi Haris,
Well，most of the applications you use are actually from third parties and they‘re beyond our forum support scope. Personally, I would suggest that you try virtual display since it might work, but I cannot guarantee it.
Maybe you can try github or contact the vendors for their advice:

Thanks for your understanding.

Hey Haris,

I am experiencing the exact same issue, and it is quite frustrating.

Have you found any solution for this? If so, it would love to hear about it.
