Connecting via SSH
For certain operations, it may be convenient to connect to your VPS via SSH. You can read how to do that here: https://hosting.nl/support/hoe-maak-ik-verbinding-met-mijn-vps/Firewall settings
To manage network access, we use UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall). We set up UFW so that only a specific IP address has access. This means that other computers cannot connect (via RDP). The firewall is configured to:- Block all incoming connections by default
- Allow only connections from your IP address
