Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) using an SSL VPN

Returning to the Lightboard, Peter Silva (back on DevCentral team!) explains why its a bad idea to expose RDP to the internet and how using a SSL VPN like BIG-IP APM is a much safer and better idea.

[@gfiw222]

the presentation and illustrations both helped me to get the idea much better. Also details and some technical information was exactly what I was looking for. keep on your great job. Thanks

[@devcentral]

Hey thanks for the comment! Glad it helped!!

1) create a strong password for your machine 2) setup password lockout after tries 3) adjust firewall rules in windows advanced settings for rdp to allow only connections from remote ip only 4) if you have the option to conveniently enable/disable port forwarding only enable when in use and disable when not. Basically with all 4 setup is virtually impossible for hacker can get to access your computer because of so many layers and just not worth it for them and they'll move to easier targets. and yes you WILL have hackers trying to bruteforce into your computer but they need your exact username and exact password. so don't use a common user name like user or admin lol.

Simple and great explanation Peter, thanks!

Hey, thanks much!!

I have RDP for work to access nuance Winscribe to transcribe the only problem I have is my foot pedal doesn't work therefore not been able to transcribe as the foot pedal is an important piece of equipment it's like a surgeon going to operate without a scalpel. The IT at our hospital are totally baffled why it doesn't work also for me to be able to actually see the text in nuance Winscribe I have to up the resolution on my own laptop to 300% so it's readable through the RDP using a SSL connection if you have any advice it would be gratefully appreciated my foot pedal is an Olympus rs28

Great job on these Peter!

[@psilvas]

Appreciate the comment!

This pretty old video, but my question is which computer's resources are being used during RDP? So i can use my old Dell E6410 and RDP to my HP Z2? Which resources will be used?

[@buulam]

In that scenario, your Z2 resources would be mainly used and minimal resources to run the RDP client on your Dell. It's quite common to see organizations deploy "thin clients" at users workstations or shared spaces that then RDP to higher performance machines. Hope that helps!

[@justaguy4real]

@@buulam ahhh great answering my question

[@jc_777]

The real question: How do I set it up for my self? Better yet, I don't want to go through all the hassle worrying about the technicalities so is there any reliable service that I can pay to use this feature ?

[@santhorathi]

Wow, amazing, what kind of hardware used as a writing board?

[@devcentral]

Thanks for the comment! This is how we do it: ruclips.net/video/U7E_L4wCPTc/видео.html
