SSH

Connect to a Virtual Device via SSH

Secure Shell (SSH)​

The Secure Shell protocol, or SSH, is a method of secure remote login from one computer to another.

To follow this tutorial, we need a device set up with a VPN. If you don’t have a device set up, start with the Quickstart tutorial, then follow the Connect to the AVH VPN tutorial. Otherwise, use a device with the VPN already set up.

How to Connect​

  1. On your device page, click CONNECT and scroll down to the advanced options. Then copy the ssh command.
  2. Open up a local terminal, paste the ssh command to connect, and press the enter key. In our example, it is ssh root@10.11.1.1. Then enter the password alpine.

Troubleshooting​

If you are attempting to SSH to a jailbroken device in the cloud, and you are unable to establish a connection, check with your system administrator about your local network settings, as certain configurations can block this connection.
