This tutorial will demonstrate how to connect to the console with a device with the VPN setup. This process can be replicated across other devices; as soon as you have a VPN connection to the device, you can initiate the NC command.
To follow this tutorial we need a device set up with a VPN. If you haven't created a device yet, start with the Quickstart for AVH tutorial then follow the Connecting to a VPN tutorial. Otherwise use a device with the VPN already set up.
On your device page, click on "CONNECT" copy the ‘console’ command:
nc <device IP> <port>in the example below it isnc 10.11.1.1 2000
Paste the command into your shell (or shell application) and hit
return
The first time logging (and after reboot) in you will need to enter the login credentials. In this example, we are using a Raspberry Pi4 device with the default credentials. User:
piPassword:raspberryYou are now logged in to the device’s console!
