Onboarding your host (basic)
Once you are have entered the IP of your server, you'll see the login page of the Proxidize Cloud Platform, at which you need to enter the default credentials (admin:admin)
You will be presented with a EULA agreement that contains the terms of use applicable to all Proxidize software.
After reading the terms and conditions of the EULA you will need to confirm that you have read and accepted the terms and conditions of the EULA
Next, you will be asked to change the default password for security reasons.
Sign-in using your Proxidize account on the Proxidize cloud app at https://www.app.proxidize.com where you'll be able to find the pin on your Proxidize Cloud app dashboard.
You will be asked to give the configured host a nickname and to enter the PIN mentioned in step 6.
To configure a static IP for this host, you can tick the static IP checkbox, which will ask you for your default gateway's IP (router IP) and the IP you want to reserve for your host.
