Install on Vultr
Install your RPort server on the Vultr cloud
Create a new instance (virtual machine)
On the Vultr desktop, select
Products
and click on theinstance tab
.Use the Plus sign on the right side to create a new instance. Click on "Deploy new server".
Select a region near you.
Choose the smallest size available, that will cost you 5$USD per month.
Do not add any additional features.
If you haven't uploaded your public SSH key yet, do so. Vultr does not support log in via password.
Log in via SSH
After the instance has been deployed, grab the public IP address from the list of instances.
Log in to the instance using SSH and the root user, for example, ssh root@45.76.82.9
.
Prepare the instance
Vultr installs the Exim Email-Server by default. It's not needed for RPort.
🧹 Keep your system tidy and uninstall it with apt purge -y exim4-*
.
Create a Firewall
By default, new instances are deployed without a firewall. That means all connections except SSH are blocked. You require a specific firewall for the RPort server.
Add the following rules
Accept SSH
22
Anywhere0.0.0.0/0
Accept TCP(HTTP)
80
Anywhere0.0.0.0/0
Accept TCP(HTTPS)
443
Anywhere0.0.0.0/0
Accept TCP
20000-3000
Anywhere0.0.0.0/0
Accept ICMP
-
Anywhere0.0.0.0/0
👈 Do not skip this rule!Drop any
0-65535
0.0.0.0/0
Finally, click on Linked Instances
, select the rport server and link it to the new firewall by clicking the plus sign.
Vultr also enables a local firewall inside the virtual machine using ufw
.
The rport server installer detects ufw and adds the needed rules automatically. Usualy you don't need to configure the local firewall manually. When in doubt check with ufw status
.
