+## Connecting to your new Langflow VM
+1. Navigate to the [VM instances](https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/instances) page
+2. Click on the external IP for your VM
+3. Add port 8080 (assuming your VM external IP is 192.168.0.1):
+http://192.168.0.1:8080
+4. You will be greeted by the Langflow Dev environment
