By default, the Remote Desktop port may be blocked for public access, so be sure to whitelist your IP in the server's firewall as shown [in the tutorial]
| We recommend not to open the remote desktop port for public access and control the connection to the server by the list of IP addresses in the firewall, otherwise the port may be attacked by malicious bots in order to find the RDP password. If a strong password is set on the server, the chance of hacking is small, but bots will block free RDP sessions, which can cause connection problems or even completely block the login of a real user. |
