#Basically, Console Access option will open a VNC connection to your Droplet.
#VNC is a graphical desktop sharing system, where you see the screen of the Droplet on your computer.
#It normally uses a random port to connect the browser with the vnc service.
#Since multiple services are run on each machine that accommodates these Droplets, the port used will be a random one.
#Usually, it will be in the 5900-7000 range.
#Notes : some port may be blocked by ISP (Internet Service Provider)
