Your server includes out-of-band management tools for situations where the web interface isn’t accessible.
Power Controls #
- Start, stop, or reboot your server (like pressing power/reset on a physical machine).
- Whenever possible, reboot from the Linux OS rather than using power controls.
Where to find them:
- VPS & Dedicated Servers: CyberLynk Client Portal
- VPS only: VPS Control Panel
- Also provides VNC details and OS reinstall options.
Login info:
- Sent in your signup email.
- If lost, reset your password at the login page or check Email History in the CyberLynk Portal.
VNC Console (VPS only) #
Use VNC for direct console access (e.g., to resolve firewall lockouts).
Steps:
- Log into our VPS control panel at https://secure.freepbxhosting.com
- Locate the server you wish to connect to and click “Manage”
- Under Click the “VNC” button and then click the “HTML VNC” button.
- Login as “root” and then enter your root password when prompted.
- After you’ve done what you need to do, be sure to log out by typing “exit” and pressing ENTER.
(Note: The VNC console button in the Client Portal is currently unavailable; use the VPS Control Panel instead.)
SSH Access #
SSH is the most common way to manage FreePBX/Linux directly.
- Default port: 22 (unless changed in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config). - Connect with PuTTY/WSL2 (Windows) or Terminal (Mac).
- Login as
root@<server_ip>using the root password from your VPS email.
If you need a root password reset, open a support ticket (requires a reboot).
