Hi Ben

you can use

IP: 103.84.224.29
Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 103.84.224.1

DNS: 202.158.207.1, 202.158.207.2

From memory, we allocated 103.84.224.45 for the original 2021 VM, so you
can use 103.84.224.29 as a temporary address and then re-address if
you'd like, or we can recover .45 and leave you with this address? Just
let us know which one you end up with so we can set a proper forward and
reverse DNS entry on the IP.

regards
