Want to know how you can connect to your Virtual Private Server? Most of you will already know this, but for this guide, we will use SSH. For enhanced security on our VPS services, we’ve changed the default SSH port from 22 to 3945.

​
How can I connect?

To connect to your server via SSH, you’ll need to specify port 3945 in your SSH command. Use the following command from your terminal or command prompt.

​
Example

If the server IP is 192.168.1.50 and your username is hello, your command would be:
Make sure to replace <username> with the username and <IP> with the server IP address. You can usually find this information in the email we sent you or in your client area.

SSH Clients - Using Termius

If you are using Termius as your SSH client, you can specify a custom port when you click the New Host button. A sidebar will appear on the right. Use the image below as a reference for what you should change: (image coming soon) Once done, you are free to use your VPS. Enjoy!

​
Why should I use a custom SSH port?

Changing the default port is a common security practice. It helps reduce the number of automated brute-force attacks from malicious bots that constantly scan the internet for servers listening on the default SSH port, which is 22.
