Allocate a public IP address (Floating IP)​

  1. In the left-side menu, go to Network → Floating IPs.

Create Security Group​

By default, the Default Security Group allows all outbound traffic. You must create a new one to allow inbound rules to access the VM.

  1. Click on Network and select Security Groups in the Side menu.
  2. Choose Create Security Group and define inbound rules (e.g., allow SSH access on port 22 from your client's public IP).

  2. Web Console: Go to the server's detail page and click "Open at Console" to log in with a password through the web console.
