Connecting to your servers privately
Use your server's NoobHost subdomain — not an IP — to reach SSH, panels, and databases over the tunnel.
Connecting to your servers privately
Once your device and server are both on the network, you reach the server by name — its NoobHost subdomain — never by a raw IP address. The name resolves privately over the tunnel.
SSH
ssh user@your-server.yoursubdomain.noobhost.com
Web panels and dashboards
Open the server's subdomain in your browser. Because it's over the private tunnel, you can keep these services bound to the private network instead of exposing them publicly.
Databases and other services
Point your database client (or any tool) at the same private hostname and the normal port — the connection rides the encrypted tunnel.
Why connect by name?
We give every node a stable name (your generated NoobHost subdomain) and resolve it inside the private network, so you never have to track changing IP addresses. If you ever need it, your tailnet IP is shown in the Agent and dashboard.
Tip: high reliability comes from direct connections — and since your VPS has a clean public address, most connections go direct automatically.
