How can you connect to your virtual machine using its private IP address?

You can connect to a virtual machine using its private IP address by establishing a connection within the same network as the virtual machine. This usually involves using a tool like SSH (Secure Shell) or RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to connect to the private IP address assigned to the virtual machine.

Here's how you can connect to a VM using its private IP address:

• Make sure your local machine is on the same network as the VM: This means they both need to be connected to the same virtual network or physical network.
• Use a secure connection method: SSH or RDP are commonly used protocols for connecting to virtual machines remotely.
• Specify the private IP address of the VM: Instead of using the public IP address, use the private IP assigned to the virtual machine.

Example:

• If your VM has a private IP address of 10.0.0.4 and you're using SSH, the command would be: ssh [email protected].

Remember: Connecting to a VM using its private IP address is typically done within a local network, not from the internet.
