Raspberry PiThis post is part of the series on using the Pi-hole; this series is a sub-series of the Adventures with a Raspberry Pi.

With the Raspberry Pi configured to allow remote access using SSH, we can connect to it using an SSH on any other machine. Windows 10 has the SSH client enabled by default from the April 2018 Update (Windows version 1803).

To access the Raspberry Pi, you need the username and IP address for your IP:

Connecting to Pi using SSH

The default username for a Raspberry Pi is pi; use the following command to access the Pi (replacing the highlighted section with your PI’s IP address:

ssh pi@{ipaddress}

If you’re connecting using SSH for the first time, you may be prompted to continue connecting; type yes and hit return.

Enter the pi user’s password; you’ll be taken to the command prompt of the Raspberry Pi.
