Hello, I am on Windows 10 and I am trying to set up an Oracle server using this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/admincraft/comments/qo78be/creating_a_minecraft_server_with_oracle_cloud/

Unfortunately, at the end of step 3, pasting my IP to PuTTY, selecting my private key and hitting "open" the app give me an error "Unable to open connection to [IP]. Host does not exist". I doubt I could ask Oracle support for help with this since this seems to be a PuTTY problem.

I am inexperienced in setting up servers but I followed the guide twice, double checking with a friend each time and I got the same error every time.
Virtual machine instance definitely was running during attempts to open connection via PuTTY.

I hope someone would be able to help, since I wouldn't want to trouble PuTTY's official support.

"Host does not exist" means that PuTTY has tried (and failed) to look up
a domain name, in order to translate it into an IP address.

So if you're getting that error message when you wrote an IP address in
the first place, that suggests that PuTTY for some reason thought that
what you'd entered was a domain name instead of a numeric address.

What type of address was this? IPv4? IPv6? How exactly did you specify
it?

grep me no patterns and I'll tell you no lines.
