If you are using Windows, you will have to use a third party tool. The following instructions show how to connect to a Linux VM using PuTTY.
Open PuTTY on your computer.
In the Host Name field, enter the Public IP Address of the VM you want to connect to, as well as the port number if you are using your VM's custom port, then click Open.
If this is your first time using PuTTY to log in to your VM with SSH, there is a warning similar to the following, click Accept.
After you receive the warning, the terminal asks for your username and password. Type in your Username and Password, then press Enter.
