Getting account
To get free shell the first thing you need to do is to request it here.
Account activation
How long does it take to activate an account?
Usually, it takes no more than 24 hours.
After registration, the administrator will receive a notification, review your request, and approve or deny it based on the information you provided.
You will receive an email with your login credentials upon activation. If, for some reason, you do not receive an email within 24 hours, please visit our IRC or Telegram channel and ask for assistance.
That's all! 😊
Connecting to the shell
After activation, you will receive your login details via email, including your username and password. The username is usually the one you requested on the registration form, while the password is generated and includes random numbers, letters, and symbols. If no host is specified in the email, the default host will be iris.efn.lt with SSH port 22
PLEASE NOTE: On your first login, use OpenSSH (Unix) or PuTTY (Windows). You’ll be prompted to change your password. Many third-party SSH clients don’t support password-change-on-first-login and may incorrectly show that the user cannot connect.
Windows Way
You need to download an SSH-compatible client. I recommend using PuTTy. After downloading, open the application, enter the hostname, select the SSH protocol, and specify the port. (You can also click “Save” to save the server details in PuTTY’s database.) Then, click “Open” to connect to the host. You will be prompted to enter your username and password. That’s all!
Linux/BSD/Solaris/*nix way
You need the OpenSSH package for your *nix distribution. It can be found on your installation media/package manager or by searching online. Use the following simple command to connect:
ssh [email protected]
Enter your password, and you’re in!
Connecting to the other servers
We operate multiple servers. You may request access to additional servers at no cost; please do so in the Telegram or IRC channel.
