How to connect to your SquaredUp server

Most of the time you will access SquaredUp DS via a browser from any device. Occasionally you will need to access the server where SquaredUp DS is installed, for example to upgrade SquaredUp DS or access log files.

Azure virtual machines

To access your SquaredUp server running on a virtual machine (VM) in Azure you will need to RDP to your SquaredUp VM as described in this Microsoft article:

How to connect and sign on to an Azure virtual machine running Windows

If this is a publicly facing VM this will be via its public IP address.

Log in using the credentials you specified when creating the VM.

To do this you may need to open port 3389 as described in the Microsoft article:

Cannot connect remotely to a VM because RDP port is not enabled in the network security group (NSG).

As the Microsoft article advises, RDP port 3389 is exposed to the Internet. You should take appropriate measures to make this secure, such as using a VPN or private connection, see RDP Security Explained.
