Connecting - Lumi

All your login details are in the server card: My Services → server. There you’ll find the IP, Username (the root login) and Password, plus a Console button — browser access for when SSH or RDP won’t reach the box.

Linux — SSH
Windows — RDP

Username is root, the password from the card, port 22.

ssh root@IP

Windows client — PuTTY or ssh in PowerShell.

Windows is available from VPS-2 (Windows 10 / Server 2022) and VPS-3 (Windows 11 / Server 2025) — see Locations & OS.

Open the client: on Windows — “Remote Desktop Connection” (mstsc); on macOS — the Windows App (formerly Microsoft Remote Desktop); on a phone — the same app.
For the address, enter the server IP (port 3389 is the default).
Username and password come from the card (on Windows the username is Administrator).
On the certificate warning, click Connect.

Can’t reach SSH or RDP (closed a port, broke the firewall)? Open the Console button in the card and fix it from the inside.
