Change The Listening Port For Remote Desktop On Your VPS Print

  • 0

When you connect to a computer (either a Windows client or Windows Server) through the Remote Desktop client, the Remote Desktop feature on your computer "hears" the connection request through a defined listening port (5633 by default). You can change that listening port on Windows computers by modifying the registry.

 

Step 1

Start the registry editor. (Type regedit in the Search box.)

 

Step 2

Navigate to the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp

 

 

Step 3

 

Find PortNumber

 

Step 4

 

Click Edit > Modify, and then click Decimal.

 

 

Step 5

 

Type the new port number, and then click OK.

 

 

 

Following you need to open ports in Firewall Windows Server operating system. 

 

Step 1

 

Go to Start >> Administrative Tools >> Windows Firewall With Advanced Security.

 

 

Step 2

 

At Windows Firewall With Advanced Security, click on Inbound Rules.

 

 

Step 3

 

Click on New Rule at right hand side panel.

Step 4

 

At New Inbound Rule Wizard, Select Port radio button and click Next.

 

 

Step 5

 

Select TCP/UDP & specify port you wish to open in Specific Local Ports box OR check All local ports & click Next.

 

Step 6

Select Allow the connection & click Next.

 

 

Step 7

 

Select the area where you want to apply this rule and click Next.

 

 

Step 8

 

Provide the Name and description for the newly created rule & click Finish.

 

 

 

New rule will reflect in Windows Firewall With Advanced Security.

 

Reboot your VPS and you can use your new customized port.
