Vsro VPS RDP Port Changer – Change Remote Desktop Port Guide

When running a VSRO server on a VPS, securing your Remote Desktop (RDP) connection is extremely important. By default, Windows uses port 3389 for RDP connections, which makes it an easy target for brute-force attacks. Changing the listening port is a common and effective method to increase server security.


Using a port changer tool or manual registry editing, you can assign a new port for Remote Desktop. Once changed, all incoming RDP connections must use this new port instead of the default one.


The process typically involves:

• Opening Registry Editor (regedit)
• Navigating to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
• Changing the value of PortNumber
• Restarting the server or Remote Desktop service

After applying the change, you must connect using:



IP:NEWPORT



Example:



192.168.1.1:3390



Important Notes:

• You MUST specify the new port when connecting via Remote Desktop
• Default port (3389) will no longer work after change
• macOS Remote Desktop client only supports port 3389, so it may not connect using custom ports
• Windows Remote Assistance may not function properly after changing the port
• Make sure to open the new port in your VPS firewall settings

For VSRO developers, this is especially useful because:

• Protects game server access
• Prevents unauthorized login attempts
• Adds an extra layer of security to your VPS

In conclusion, changing the RDP port on your VPS is a simple yet powerful security step for any VSRO server owner. Just remember to configure firewall rules and always keep track of your new port to avoid connection issues.
