# Using Jump Servers or Bastion Hosts with Hatchbox

Restrict access to servers in the private network using a Jump Server or Bastion Host

To use a Jump server or Bastion host with Hatchbox, you'll need to:

1. Create a Cluster
2. Under the SSH tab, copy the SSH Key and add it to the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file for a user on the jump server. We recommend using a *non-root* user on the jump server for this.
3. Add the jump server username, IP address, and SSH port to the Jump Server Settings and click Save.
4. View a Server in the Cluster and click "Test Connection" to verify the Jump server connection works.
