Setup Guide
Connect Your First Server
Termex connects directly to your SSH hosts with no telemetry or third-party services.
1. Add a Host
Have your hostname, username, and authentication method ready. Termex supports password and key-based auth.
Host myserver
HostName 192.168.1.20
User ubuntu
Port 22
Tip: If you use an SSH config file, keep hostnames short and memorable for fast access.
2. Secure Key Storage
Your keys stay on-device in the iOS Keychain. Use passphrases where possible and keep private keys off cloud storage.
Agent forwarding is available when you need to authenticate to downstream servers without copying keys.
3. Local Network Access
For hosts on your Wi-Fi or LAN, iOS will prompt for Local Network permission. You can still connect to public hosts without it.
Note: If permission is denied, enable Local Network access for Termex in iOS Settings and reconnect.
4. Advanced Workflows
Termex supports SSH config parsing, port forwarding rules, and jump hosts for multi-hop access. Keep these details in your server profile so sessions stay one tap away.
