Install the RPort server on your new Hetzner Virtual Server

From the list of servers, grab the public ipv4 address of your newly created server.

Connect over SSH to the instance using the root user. If you have created the server without an SSH public key, look for an email with the root password. If you log in with a password, you are forced to change the password on the first login.
