After successful Webmin installation, you can access its interface by entering https://<Your-Server-IP>:10000 in your browser 🔗. Check that your firewall configuration allows access through port 10000.

Note: Make sure you have a valid SSH key or password set up for root user, as Webmin requires authentication 🚪.
