The simplest way is an SSH tunnel from your machine:

```
ssh -L 8081:127.0.0.1:81 hertzner
```

Then open:

[http://127.0.0.1:8081](http://127.0.0.1:8081)

That forwards your local port `8081` to the server’s local-only NPM admin port `81`.

If you want it in the background:

```
ssh -N -L 8081:127.0.0.1:81 hertzner
```
