Accessing Your Server via NoVNC

If a firewall configuration script errors, an SSH service port drops, or a network interface modification disconnects your server from the internet, traditional SSH or SFTP access will fail.

To resolve this on panel-managed instances without data loss, VirtFusion includes an out-of-band NoVNC Console link. This tool establishes a direct visual stream to your instance's virtual monitor from within your web browser, mimicking a physical keyboard and screen plugged into a bare-metal rack.

Launching the Console Terminal

1. Login to the VPS Panel.
2. Select your instance and locate the Console button in the upper management action bar.
3. Click the button to launch an isolated secure visual connection frame.
4. Press Enter to awaken the instance screen layer.

Authenticating via NoVNC

Because the NoVNC console acts as a direct hardware monitor, it does not accept SSH key tokens.

1. When the system displays your distribution’s local login prompt, type root and hit Enter.
2. Input your administrative root password string and confirm. Note that characters will remain hidden as you type for security.
3. You are now inside a secure shell terminal operating entirely outside your server's standard public network interface.

Resolving Local Lockouts

Once your session initializes, you can troubleshoot the underlying network block natively:

• Check Local Firewall Status: If an active Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) block locked your connection, you can temporarily suspend it via ufw disable.
• Inspect Active Port Bindings: Verify that the system's SSH daemon is active and listening cleanly on your intended ports by executing systemctl status ssh or ss -tulpn.
