Is it better to SSH into a machine to access the Dashboard remotely, or is it better to change the IP of the Dashboard. Also, I’m a bit confused about how do any of the above and access the dashboard after eg. changing the IP, so could someone help explain to me how I would do the above methods?
Are you talking about accessing the dashboard locally? or away from home as well? If your talking about away from home its not a good idea to open it up to public its better to setup a vpn to access your local network to view your dashboard.
I mean locally, connected to the same network.
I’m sure this is answered elsewhere… However, it came up a little while ago on the forum:

I’m not sure I’m properly understanding the question, but I’ve found that setting up an SSH tunnel is a great way to look at the GUI dashboard when I’m away from home. So, if you’re SSH’ing directly to the machine running Storj, you’d connect like this:
ssh -L 14002:localhost:14002 username@network.com
And then, in your web browser on the same computer, you could enter:
localhost:14002
…and it will show your dashboard.
