FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about this topic.
How do I SSH into a Linux server that has no public IP address?
+Install the SocketXP agent on the Linux server. The agent creates a secure outbound tunnel to the SocketXP cloud gateway. You can then SSH into the server from anywhere using the SocketXP web terminal or a standard SSH client pointed at the SocketXP tunnel address—no public IP, no port forwarding, and no VPN needed.
Can I remotely access a Linux server behind a corporate firewall?
+Yes. The SocketXP agent makes an outbound HTTPS connection on port 443, which corporate firewalls almost universally permit for web traffic. No inbound firewall rules need to change, and no IT infrastructure changes are required.
Does SocketXP support remote desktop access to Linux servers via VNC or RDP?
+Yes. SocketXP tunnels VNC and xRDP connections the same way it tunnels SSH. Install a VNC server such as TigerVNC or xRDP on your Linux server, then use SocketXP to expose it securely. You can access the full graphical desktop from any VNC or RDP client.
Can I access a Linux server remotely from a web browser without any client software?
+Yes. The SocketXP portal includes a browser-based SSH terminal and SFTP file browser. Open your browser, go to the SocketXP dashboard, select your server, and click Connect. No SSH client, VPN client, or browser plugin is required.
How is SocketXP different from using a bastion host or jump server for Linux access?
+A bastion host requires a publicly-exposed server that you maintain, patch, and secure—making it a high-value attack target. SocketXP eliminates the need for a bastion entirely. Each server connects outbound to SocketXP's cloud gateway, so there is no publicly-exposed infrastructure on your network to compromise or maintain.
Can I use SocketXP to access Linux servers running on AWS, Azure, or GCP?
+Yes. SocketXP works on any Linux server regardless of where it is hosted—on-premises, in AWS EC2, Azure VMs, GCP Compute Engine, or a bare-metal data centre. It is particularly useful for cloud VMs in private subnets that have no public IP and no internet gateway, where you would otherwise need a bastion host or VPN to reach them.
