Change RDP port

Dbill53 · 2025-02-28T15:36:10+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I like using the Windows RDP client but get attacked constantly when using the default port. I’ve made several failed attempts at opening another port.

Please explain the settings I need to open a different port (TCP/UDP) for RDP using 3390 as an example.

Thanks

Hello @Dbill53,

What Bitdefender product are you using? Is it a consumer product, or a business solution?

Thanks

Hi.

I guess the OP uses a Bitdefender business/enterprise solution and this thread should be moved to the "Enterprise Security" category.

Cheerss.

Unsure yet, I asked Andrei as well, since I also think this involves a business product.

I’m using the personal not a business version. Finding and/or creating rules is not very straightforward or intuitive.

I can screenshot the rule settings that don’t work. The windows RDP default is allowed but any change to a different port fails.

Sadly attacks happen constantly with the default port. If I can’t find a way to allow a different port I will change to another vendor. I have experienced other hookey stuff with Bitdefender like having to uninstall/reinstall on iPad because it decides to block internet even when Kill is disabled.
