Outbound SSH connections don't work

By default, Onidel servers block outbound SSH connections as a security precaution. This measure helps prevent compromised servers from being used to launch attacks against external systems.


As a result, you won't be able to initiate SSH connections to other servers or use SSH-based tools (such as Git) without adjusting this setting.


To disable this protection:


  1. Go to the VM Management page.
  2. Navigate to the Security tab.
  3. Toggle off the Block Outgoing SSH option.

Enable or Disable Outgoing SSH

This will allow your server to make outbound SSH connections as needed.
