 ## Introduction
 
 We show how to deploy the Dashboard (devnet) on a full VM. To do so, we set an SSH tunnel and use the VSCodium Remote Explorer function. We will then be able to use a source-code editor to explore the code and see changes on a local browser.
 
+We also show how to provide a public access to the Dashboard by setting a gateway domain to your full VM deployment. Note that this method is not production-ready and should only be used to test the Dashboard.

 - [Make sure you can connect via SSH on the terminal](../../system_administrators/getstarted/ssh_guide/ssh_openssh.md)

+In this guide, we use WireGuard, but you can use other connection methods, such as [Mycelium](../../system_administrators/mycelium/mycelium_toc.md).

+If you use an IPv6 address, e.g. with Mycelium, set `-6` in the line above instead of `-4`.

+## Editor SSH Remote Connection
 
 You can connect via SSH through the source-code editor to a VM on the grid. In this example, WireGuard is set.

+## Dashboard Public Access
+
+> Note: This method is not production-ready. Use only for testing purposes.
+
+Once you've tested the Dashboard with the SSH tunnel, you can explore how to access it from the public Internet. For this, we will create a gateway domain and bind the host to `0.0.0.0`.
+
+On the Full VM page, [add a domain](../../dashboard/solutions/add_domain.md) to access your deployment from the public Internet.
+
+- Under `Actions`, click on `Manage Domains`
+- Go to `Add New Domain`
+- Choose a gateway domain under `Select domain`
+- Set the port 5173
+- Click on `Add`
+
+To run the Dashboard from the added domain, use this instead of the previous `make run` line:
+
+```
+cd packages/playground
+yarn dev --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+You can then access the Dashboard from the domain you just created.
