How to return to Bancho:

To go back to Bancho you can simply remove the -devserver command from the Shortcut. Although from our connection guide it is implicit that you should maintain at least two shortcuts: one being for Bancho, and the other one for Akatsuki. Please keep in mind that, for security reasons, every time you switch servers you’ll have to reinsert your login credentials.
