Connect to your Metal Blockchain VPS node
Now that you have all the info to access your VPS, it’s time to connect to it. To connect, it’s best to use SSH software that can store credentials so you can always easily log in. I personally use Termius on MacOS, but you can use other apps. The configuration will be similar but in this guide, I’ll show how it works with Termius.
Once Termius is installed and opened, click on the host tab and then on add and select new host as shown below.
Enter the following info in the fields below: Address field: enter the IP address of your VPS. Port: 22 Username: root Password: The password you selected. In the next chapter, we’ll change the root username and port to secure the server.
Save the settings and double-click on the host to connect to the VPS.
You should now see the welcome screen.
Next steps follow on chapter 04: Setting up and securing your server.
