 If you are running Pokemon Showdown on a remote server (such as a VPS), you can still connect from `127.0.0.1` using an SSH tunnel:
 
-  ssh user@example.com -L 3000:127.0.0.1:8000 -N
+    ssh user@example.com -L 3000:127.0.0.1:8000 -N
 
 Replace `user` by your user account on the remote computer and replace `example.com` by the host name of the remote computer. Replace `8000` by the port that the server is running on. You can then point your browser to `http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/~~localhost:3000/` and it will connect to `example.com:8000`, but it will consider you to be connecting from `127.0.0.1`, so you will become an Administrator.
