Before connecting
- An SSH server you are authorized to access and its connection details are required.
- Portline connects directly to your server. It does not use an operator relay.
- Plain SSH connections work without tmux. Preserving a session requires tmux on the server.
Private keys and passwords you choose to save are stored in the iPhone Keychain. See the privacy policy for details.
