I would suggest an additional step to mitigate hacking....for a windows PC the local security policy should be changed. so 1)Type "Local security policy" in search bar bottom left of Win screen and open the local security policy. 2)Under "Account Policies" open "Account lockout policy" and change "Account lockout threshold" from 0 to 3. Now the PC will be locked for 30mins when an incorrect password is entered 3 times.

[@Gurgs]

Ty

[@Bandgeek601]

Wouldn’t that lock out *all* IP addresses? Including your own?

[@Boom_Wealthy]

​@@Bandgeek601local account policy applies to a single workstation. If you want to apply LAN policies, you would need a domain.

[@alexandercarr5492]

I went through 10 tutorials and this was the one that finally worked for me. Thank you.

[@nukiepoo]

Same here

[@DCWilliam24]

I followed this entire tutorial. It was very well done but at 21:50 I completely missed the instruction to add a colon after the IP followed by the port number… It took me another hour to figure out what was wrong. Maybe I’m an idiot but if you’ve never done this before, every little step matters. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@norbotries6314]

OMG, your comment just saved me that hour of finding out the problem of not paying attention. I faced the exact same "issue" as you did. LoL xD

[@apfelbaum4777]

How do you enter the port?

[@64-bit63]

@@apfelbaum4777 the port comes after the IP address separated by a colon. Example: 192.168.0.0:5000 Ip-adress:port

[@the4thj]

I just did my VPS in Texas from Las Vegas! Genius! I configured the F-wall before the Win-Server restart. I did it to prevent Nifarias' former friends from mucking things up a bit.

[@ravenhoodcat9421]

You better have a long complex password opening up your desktop to the world. Port scanners are not stupid. They will endlessly hammer multiple ports with access attempts.

[@LichaelMewis]

Doesn't matter how complex the password is, you will get DDoS'd and rendure your PC and or entire network subpar performance or unsuably slow.

[@MikeCarey101]

It's dangerous Af to have RDP open to the internet. We got hacked and ransomware from this last year. Looking at the event logs, there were hundreds of RDP login attempts each day the months leading up to the attack as they tried to find a password.

[@AlexanderZockt]

​@@MikeCarey101 Couldn't you just use the Account Lockout Policy to stop the PW cracking?

[@nicholasvitaris]

@@AlexanderZockt you COULD, but you can also put a bandaid on an axe wound... The proper way to do this is to use a SSL VPN, then connect to your computer via RDP.

[@joescalzo9431]

This product is way too complicated than say TeamViewer--too many hoops to jump through. Workable products one pays for should work easily else it is not attractive to me.

[@dcalloy]

Thanks. The most clear instruction I have found online to get Remote Desktop to work for me.

[@martinephilippe4242]

Great vid! I am looking on how to connect using a certificate instead of username/password

[@joashsal]

Super Helpful, i was trying to figure this out for like 3 hours and i kept failing, until i watched this video. Great video

[@basil_lom]

Did everything right, but rdp didn't work. After two days rebooted wi-fi router:)) It made the trick. Thanks for the video!

[@narmen1984]

LOL I went through it and was so mad I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working... Went back to my Router IP and the port forwarding, yep all good WTF Oh.... big grey button that says "ENABLE PORT FORWARDING" you'd think if I was adding a port range that would auto-enable friggin heck lmao.... Thanks for the video, even an old IT vet needs a helping hand sometimes.

[@tamperdata1]

What kind of wireless router do u have? I feel like I'm having the same issue on my nighthawk r7300.

[@davidchang5862]

My advice is use a VPN to save yourself from all kinds of attack and security issues.

[@AngelliaX]

thank you man, i have read over a dozens of docs in the internet with no avail, but this video solve all

[@adedeyem]

I've done all of this and follow you step by step but the result still the same ( i use RDP provide by windows 10 Pro ) : The remote office cannot connect for one of the reasons detailed below: 1-Remote access is not enabled 2-The remote computer is turned off 3-The remote computer is not available on the network But thank you for your stuff

[@austinkidder8373]

WOW! This was extremely helpful! Thank you! I also looked around for different preferred and alternate DNS. Cloudfare as a good set too.

[@joesahagun5959]

had to adjust speed to turtle so that I could acctually learn what your blowing through. 😕 Great vid though. thanks

[@saintarcherxiii2196]

Thanks a bunch, simple fast and straight to the point, i do not press the like button on videos alot but you really deserve it.

[@camiherrera9954]

The reason for my asking, is due to crackling/distorting soft, whenever the drum/snare, or whatever is playing. TNice tutorials was the case off

[@nri_raj]

You got one more subscriber

[@Maverick55555]

He is explaining thing very quickly and disorganized. I cannot understand why he is taking each of those steps

[@CrashBr0]

Will this work if your PC is not connected to the internet, but your phone is?

[@mrgabriel6295]

Thank you so much for the video but seems my huawei router is not working correctly. Any idea if VPN port forwarding works?

[@GursewakSingh-vz5ij]

first video that helped for me

[@xUNKNOWNx151]

once i change the port # my desktop does not want to let me remote in even after changing the firewall, I've tried different ports but it still wont connect i just changed it back to 3389 and cont. After I completed, I am using a VPN and would like to keep it running but tried connecting from my phone and wont establish a connection.(tried LOCAL and VPN ip while it was running) I would like to see a new vid with a set up with a VPN on the desktop you are remoting into would be a great help. Also if you could please change one of the desktop backgrounds so there is a better understanding on what pc your working on.

[@microsoftsarker]

I followed this entire tutorial.

[@iris3157]

Does this require a public static IP?

[@youngjim7987]

thank you a thousand times sir, finally able to use remote desktop

[@kamran645]

Can we change location or multi location and ip addresses?

[@CrSankar]

Your work is good bro

what app on iphone he just used to access the remote desktop?

[@brunochemane1926]

From wich computer we take the information of the user name and password

[@DELUXEPACKAGING]

getting error code: 0x104. pls help.

[@SwissLord]

Tehnically ok, but from security reason very dangerous. I had just theese days on 4 forwarded rdp ports (not standard ports) tousands of brute force attacks. They will identify rdp ports with scripts based on their feedback. We had no succesful connect, but if any user would have a weak password they would have success. Also can it happen, that your client will be locked because of these attacks. Better would be a clean solution like guarcamole, rport, rust desk,mesh central or remotley, dependend on your need, and all open source.

[@fizichim]

Thank's a lot for this video 👍. Very simple, precise and targeted.

great excellent help, for some reason my ports wont show up as open as result i cant seem to connect, just missing this last step, i changed the 3382 to 4002, fowarded port in router, restarted, removed firewall, and still doesnt open. thanks

[@ThePersonalDevelopme]

What is the port number cant be edited

[@antdx316]

so its your IP and the Port is the unique one to that Desktop? Basically like your ISP IP then computer 1 is say Port 5001, computer 2 is 5002, etc.? It doesn't auto load All of the PCs in that port?

[@Spidy_S]

Bro, thank you so much for deep and clear explanation.

yeah this is good,but u need DDNS or fixed address Public IP

The process is working when we are on the same internet IP . When i switch to a different network and try access thru a laptop it's not going thru. Can anyone help

Got it to work!!!! Thanks man, you're a wizard

[@assassin93]

did you need an app you have to download or something to remote into the PC from the phone?

[@LULU-pp2ii]

Thank you for everything!! So helpful! But I’m stuck on this WiFi IP assignment, I also have issues with changing it in the system network settings as well, but able to follow you in the other rout and changed it. Only thing is , it’s not showing changed in the system network settings like you did. Wondering maybe is I’m changing WiFi settings instead of Ethernet? And from this point I couldn’t get cellphone app remote in…

[@drughi2914]

do we need to be on the same network with my computer ?

[@user-yc2eh9ki9u]

The computer that you connect to always need to be on ...also you can control what to access in the main computer or always you access to everything in the computer...

nice work bro

You neglected to mention the Static IP settings..

[@axelcarre8939]

Insanely well explained, straight to useful content safety-wise :)

[@asyt9996]

Nice video mate. A quick question; lets say I had restarted my router, I am sure it will give me a new public IP. And if I am out and want to connect to my home PC, how do I find out my public IP?

[@jhunvillalon]

config your IP as static

[@Ronbo765]

You can't get it unless you're at your computer. You can buy a static public ip from your isp, however.

[@yaghuzt]

I am pretty sure you could use ddns, which maps your public IP address to the same domain even when the public IP address changes.

[@mrrafi1562]

Hi sir I have doubt

[@josephegilsanchez8544]

Hey can you assist me please I’m having problems and I need this for work.

[@charlesjosephperez5260]

Can you use this to remote a computer from a different location physically?(for example 10 buildings away from you).

[@bradytome9410]

I cannot connect tried using the other PC IP to connect and it doesn't prompt the ability to give username and password. Both PCs allow RDP connections

[@noahbremer2771]

[@yaakovfriedlander]

i dont know why but when i changed the port for RD i wasn't able to connect if you want please help me get it working thanks any way

[@prototype-mk4758]

do i do this to the pc i want to connect to outside my network or the pc i i am using to connect too or both because i want to connect to my brothers pc at a diffent home

[@marygraceamboy7004]

Hi may I ask to where do I know what username and password will I use in the credential for remote desktop?

[@anyhow5860]

Sir why it always ask my password credentials even though I didn't create a login password to my computers, before I can connect without password why is that. TIA

[@HeltonsComputerRepair]

It’s most likely a requirement with a password if your using Remote Desktop.
