How to Connect to Windows Server via RDP from Windows

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a network protocol developed by Microsoft that enables remote connection to a VPS or dedicated server running Windows. With RDP, you can manage your server as if you were working directly at its keyboard and monitor. The protocol transmits the graphical interface of the remote computer to your device and allows you to perform all necessary tasks: install programs, configure the system, work with files and applications. RDP uses a secure connection and supports audio transmission, clipboard operations, and local disk access. Windows operating system comes with a built-in Remote Desktop client, making the connection process as simple as possible.

Connecting to a Server via RDP

After loading the Windows operating system, press the Win+R key combination. In the "Run" dialog box that appears, type the command mstsc.exe and click the OK button.

In the "Remote Desktop Connection" window that opens, enter the IP address of your order and click the Connect button.

Then enter the username and password, which you can find in the Billing section of the control panel.

Click OK.

When connecting to the server for the first time, the application will display a warning about an untrusted certificate. This notification indicates that the server uses a self-signed SSL certificate to encrypt transmitted data. Check the box "Don't ask me again for connections to this computer" and click "Yes".

After successful authentication, the remote server's desktop will open in a new window, and you can begin working.
