Hi, Ive just donated and followed your install instructions for windows server 2016 on a DO droplet - great guide by the way.
Just a general question - what do you suggest as additional security for windows Remote desktop in securing the server?
i.e. DigitalOcean use putty for SSH keys to a Linux setup - what can be proposed for our windows instance?
Setup Windows firewall to only allow your IP address to access RDP.
Ihadp, doyou have a moment to briefly discuss how to do this? Thanks
Where are you running into trouble setting up the Windows firewall?
Have you read any of the Microsoft articles on the topic?
- Go to the control panel->Administrative Tools.
- Windows Firewall with Advanced Settings.
- Inbound Rules.
- Remote Desktop (TCP-In)
- Go to the Properties->Scope tab.
- Add the IP (or IP range) in the Remote IP addresses section.
This may be of use to others...

I've gone ahead and configured the IP addresses i need to the 3 RDP rules. Are there any other rules in the list that this applies to? Thanks
