Connect from Windows Desktop

To connect from your PC using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP):

1. Open the Remote Desktop Connection application. You can find it by searching for “Remote Desktop” in the Start menu.
2. Enter the IP address of your Windows VPS in the “Computer” field.
3. Click “Connect.”
4. When prompted, enter the username and password provided in the email you received.
5. Click “OK” to initiate the connection.

Connect from Linux Desktop

To connect from a Linux desktop, you can use an RDP client like Remmina:

1. Open Remmina or another RDP client installed on your Linux Dekstop.
2. Create a new connection profile and select RDP as the protocol.
3. Enter the IP address of your Windows VPS.
4. Input your username and password as provided in the email.
5. Save the profile and click “Connect.”

You will receive a notification about the networks. Please select “Yes”. If you select “No”, you will lose the public internet connection for your server, and the server will not be accessible via RDP.

Once connected, you can start working on your Windows Server.
