# SSH into Depot CI sandboxes now uses exec.depot.dev (https://depot.dev/changelog/2026-06-03-ssh-exec-host)

> Published 2026-06-03

SSH access to Depot CI sandboxes has moved to a dedicated host, `exec.depot.dev`, instead of `api.depot.dev`. Connections route through a dedicated proxy service rather than the API.

In most cases, you don't need to make any changes to use the new host. [`depot ci ssh`](/docs/cli/reference/depot-ci#depot-ci-ssh) connects you to a running job's sandbox and uses the new host automatically once you update the Depot CLI. The **SSH into sandbox** command in the dashboard log view for a running job now points at the new host.

But if you connect with a raw `ssh` command using `api.depot.dev` directly, switch the host to `exec.depot.dev` like so: `ssh <sandbox-id>@exec.depot.dev`.

The `api.depot.dev` host still works during the transition period, so existing scripts won't break, but you should switch to `exec.depot.dev` as soon as possible.
