Add the IP address you will connect from to your VPS firewall whitelist.

Connecting via SSH

Connect to your VPS hostname via SSH on port 7369,
using the username of the account where you added your public RSA key.


⚠️ Important:

You can only connect to accounts that you have created yourself.
Access as superuser or administrator (root) is not allowed.
