Recently, someone are supposed to use university VPN to connect with Jupyterhub. But there is a desperate sentence that For Windows users, open PowerShell if you are Window 10 1803 or newer, else you should use other ssh tools. For me, unfortunately I am an outlier. So with teacher’s suggestion, I focus on other ssh tool called OpenSSH. Here is some tips you may need.
