Securely Access Windows RDP Remotely 🌐

Learn how to connect to a Windows PC using Remote Desktop (RDP) from another country — step-by-step and with security best practices. This video shows prerequisites, how to enable RDP, configure firewall & port forwarding, set up Dynamic DNS (if needed), use a VPN or RD Gateway, test the connection and troubleshoot common problems.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: Exposing RDP directly to the internet can be risky. I show safer options (VPN, RD Gateway, strong passwords, Network Level Authentication). Follow those to reduce the chance of unauthorized access.

What you’ll learn
• Prerequisites (Windows versions, account type, IP vs Dynamic DNS)
• How to enable Remote Desktop on Windows
• Windows Firewall & router port forwarding for RDP
• Use Dynamic DNS if you don’t have a static IP
• Safer ways: VPN, RD Gateway, change default RDP port, enforce NLA
