# How-tos

- [Create virtual machines](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/create-virtual-machines.md): Creating a new KVM VM is fast, and you can choose between various Linux and Windows images.
- [Connect with SSH](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/connect-with-ssh.md): To connect to your Linux VM, you use SSH (Secure Shell).
- [Connect with RDP](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/connect-with-rdp.md): To connect to your Windows VM, you use Remote Desktop (RDP).
- [Connect to the VM console](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/connect-to-the-vm-console.md): If you lock yourself out of your VM, you can use the console to access it.
- [Manage virtual machines](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/manage-virtual-machines.md): Existing virtual machines can be managed in various ways; for example, you can enable or disable backups and add or remove additional IP addresses.
- [Resize virtual machines](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/resize-virtual-machines.md): It's possible to resize a VM's resources, such as CPU, RAM, and disk space.
- [Manage private networks](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/manage-private-networks.md): Private networks allow your VMs to communicate without the network traffic passing through the public internet.
- [Build your own gateway for your private network](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/manage-private-networks/build-your-own-gateway-for-your-private-network.md): Setting up a gateway on your private network is required if your machines only have private addresses.
- [How to deploy OPNsense on Glesys](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/manage-private-networks/how-to-deploy-opnsense-on-glesys.md): OPNsense is a firewall service that can be deployed on a Glesys server. It is primarily used to secure and manage network traffic between public and private networks.
- [Restore virtual machines](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/restore-virtual-machines.md): VMs are restored by creating a new VM from a backup.
- [Delete virtual machines](https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/delete-virtual-machines.md): Deleting a virtual server will permanently delete all data associated with it, including backups.
