What SSH gets you
Your keys, every box
Paste a key or import github.com/<you>.keys. It reaches every box you own.
Box ports on your laptop
ssh -L puts the box's Postgres or dev server on localhost of your own machine.
Your terminal, your scripts
Work from the terminal you already love. The browser terminal is there for when you are away from it.
A gateway you can verify
The dashboard shows the gateway's host key fingerprint, so you check it before you trust it.

Questions about this
Can I use the key I already have?
Yes. Paste the public key or import all your keys from GitHub. Every box you own accepts them.
Can I log in with a password?
Login is key-only. Keys are harder to guess and one click to revoke.
Why does a stopped box refuse SSH?
Nothing is running to answer. Start the box from the dashboard and ssh in a few seconds later.
