 Before node or validator setup, the VPS needs to be configured and tested, to verify your connectivity and make sure that your provider wasn't dishonest with the offered services.

+### Install Dependencies
+
+SSH to your server as `root` or become one running `sudo -i` or `su`. If you prefer to administrate your VPS from a user environment, supply the commands with prefix `sudo`.
+
+Start with setting up the essential tools on your server.
+```sh
+# get your system up to date
+apt update -y && apt --fix-broken install
+
+# install dependencies
+apt -y install ca-certificates jq curl wget ufw jq tmux pkg-config build-essential libssl-dev git

+# double check ufw is installed correctly
+apt install ufw --fix-missing

 ### Configure your Firewall

 For a `nym-node` or Nyx validator to recieve traffic, you need to open ports on the server. The following commands will allow you to set up a firewall using `ufw`.

+Nym operators community is working on a Nym version of tors [good bad ISP table](https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/). There is no one solution fits all when it comes to connectivity setup. The operation of `nym-node` will vary depending on your ISP and chosen system/distribution.  While few machines will work out of the box, most will work after uisng our connectivity configuration guide, some need more adjustments.

 1. Tor community created a helpful [table of ISPs](https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/). Make sure your one is listed there as a *"good ISP"*. If not, consider migrating!
 2. Checkout your VPS dashboard and make sure your IPv6-public enabled.

 For true internet decentralization we encourage operators to use diverse VPS providers instead of the largest companies offering such services. If for some reasons you have already running AWS or Google and want to setup a `<NODE>` there, please read the following.
