Hi guys,
I am currently trying to install the new Venus OS 3.1 (large) on a Raspi.
I have been on 2.9.2 before which refuses to update.
Unlike in the 2.x versions, there is no longer a menu to enable remote login via ssh.
In the "General" menu under "Remote Support" I can only choose between "User & Installer" and "User"; no more "Superuser".
Also, the "set root password" and "enable ssh" menus have disappeared.
What can I do?
Nothing has changed. The Superuser selection is hidden by default and always has been. It's all explained here:

Thanks, Kevin for your answer. I just found it out myself, paying an hour of my lifetime (for the second time) :-(
What the hell is that supposed to be? Security through obscurity? Shame on Victron :-(
Hi @solar noob
I didn’t make the decision, but doing it this way forces people to read the documentation first and hopefully understand the security implications of opening these ports and interfaces.
SSH tunnelling in a power control system can have serious security consequences.
It should be the first hit on a Google search, and linked in the manual, so I don’t think it’s too obscure.
