Follow these steps
- Select the VPS and inspect its Security and Networking information.
- To apply an available IP restriction, choose Null route IP and read the full confirmation, including any required phrase.
- To restore permitted connectivity, choose Remove null route for the affected IP and confirm the intended change.
- Use Enable service monitoring when offered and complete the fields returned by the provider.
- Check the result, server reachability and Activity after the action finishes. Use Notifications to configure supported alert rules.
