### Prerequisites Before you begin, make sure you have the following: - An IPv6-only VPS hosted by EcoStack Cloud. - SSH client installed on your local machine. ### Step 1: Accessing the Tunnel Server To facilitate the connection to your IPv6-only VPS, EcoStack Cloud provides a tunnel server (`tunnel.oxog.net`) acting as an intermediary. Use the following command to initiate the connection: ```bash ssh connect@tunnel.oxog.net ``` You'll be prompted to enter the password (`nopass`) for the `connect` user. ### Step 2: Providing Server Details Once connected to the tunnel server, you'll be greeted with information about EcoStack Cloud and prompted to provide the details of your IPv6-only VPS: - **IPv6 Address**: Enter the IPv6 address of your VPS. - **Port Number**: If different from the default SSH port (22), specify it; otherwise, press Enter to use the default. - **Username**: Enter the username you wish to use for the SSH connection; default is `root`. ### Step 3: Establishing the SSH Connection After providing the server details, the script will attempt to establish an SSH connection to your VPS using the specified information. You may be prompted for the password associated with the chosen username on your VPS. ### Step 4: Accessing Your VPS Upon successful authentication, you'll gain access to your IPv6-only VPS. You can now interact with your server as needed, just like any other SSH session. ### Conclusion Congratulations! You have successfully connected to your IPv6-only VPS from an IPv4 network using the tunnel server provided by EcoStack Cloud.
