Once your VPS is active, follow these industry best practices to secure your environment:
-
Update Your Packages: * Linux:
apt update && apt upgrade -y.-
Windows: Run Windows Update to apply the latest security patches.
-
-
Verify QEMU Guest Agent: Ensure the agent is running so our system can communicate with your VM for backups and password resets.
-
Configure the Firewall: Use the VPSgrid Firewall (built on Proxmox) to restrict access to management ports like SSH (22) and RDP (3389).
-
Change Default Passwords: Replace template passwords with high-entropy strings immediately.
