# Accessing our Router Dashboard

Connecting our web server to the internet will require gaining access to our router's administrative dashboard. We can find our routers address by using the command:

```bash
ip -o route show | grep default | perl -nle 'if ( /via\s+(\S+)/ ) {print $1}'
```

Going to our web browser, we can enter the IP address returned by our command:

```
192.168.68.1
```
