Connecting to your instance on the cloud

If you're using EC2 or any other cloud provider as a means to test out red-pnda, then the chances are you might not be able to connect to the PNDA console through an elastic IP.

Here are the steps to overcome this limitation:

  • ssh to your cloud instance with the '-D' and '-q' flags

  • '-q' sets the logging to quiet and suppresses any error messages

      ssh -i /path/to/your/key.pem -q -D 8888 [email protected]

  • Download FoxyProxy extension for your browser. Please use the following links to download

    Chrome

    Firefox

  • Click on the FoxyProxy Icon, you should see this window

    FoxyProxy

Then click on the first selection and then click on 'Edit Selection'

  • Configure the FoxyProxy extension to look like this:

FoxyProxy

Click 'OK'. Make sure the extension is enabled, you should see a blue indicator to the right of your address bar!

  • Type the private or public IP of your ec2 instance in the browser and you should see the console
  • Note the console can take 10-15 secs to show the active running status
  • Magic!
