  8. Run\u00a0sh \/root\/reapply.sh<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And you’re all set. Login to you server using your VPS’s IP address and credentials. If you have any issues try the following troubleshooting steps:<\/p>\n

    Restart your VPS in SolusVM. If this allows you to connect but you do not have internet access, you’ll need to re-run the iptables commands above (steps 5 and 6).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
