Common Issues

Connection refused
The VPS might still be starting up. Wait 30 seconds and try again. Also verify the IP address is correct.
Connection timed out
Check that your IP address is correct. If using a firewall or VPN, try disabling it temporarily. Your provider may need a few minutes to provision the server.
Permission denied (publickey)
This usually means the SSH key isn't being found. Make sure you're using: ssh -i ~/.ssh/acfs_ed25519 root@YOUR_IP
Host key verification failed
If you recreated your VPS, the old key is cached. Run: ssh-keygen -R YOUR_IP then try connecting again.

Tips

  • The first connection will ask you to verify the host fingerprint — type 'yes' to continue.
  • If using Windows, make sure you're in PowerShell, not Command Prompt.
