First Login, SSH Keys, and Access Basics

A secure first login flow for privacy-focused VPS hosting. This guide is optimized for fast, anonymous access without sacrificing safety.

1) Verify your access path

Use the SSH endpoint and credentials provided in your client area. For privacy VPS orders, avoid reusing keys or passwords from other services.

2) Create a fresh SSH key pair

Generate a new key specifically for this server. Store the private key locally and never upload it to third-party tools.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "radarvps"

3) Add the key and disable password login

Once the key works, disable password logins to remove brute-force exposure. This is the single most effective privacy VPS security step.

4) Limit root access

Create a non-root user and use sudo. Restrict root SSH where possible.

5) Update the server immediately

Apply security updates before deploying any services. This reduces risk from known vulnerabilities.
