delphiman

I want to use port 3390 (not 3389) to use Remote Desktop Connection from outside to my desktop in BitDefender Total Security 2010?

Please help

Hello delphiman,

To set BitDefender Firewall to allow Remote Desktop Connections to be listened and accepted on port 3390, you have to edit the default firewall rule by following these steps:

• open BitDefender Security Center (Expert Mode)
• go to Firewall -> Rules and click Advanced
  
• WARNING! Be careful what rules you edit here, because editing the wrong rules might cause security breaches or connection loss on certain situations
  
• Find a rule which is defined with these details:

  
  Application: svchost.exe

  
  Cmd. Line: Any

  
  Check Parent: No

  
  Adapter: Any

  
  Protocol: TCP

  
  Local Address: Any IP : RDP

  
  Remote address: Any IP : 1024-65535

  
  IP version: Any

  
  Local: No

  
  Direction: Both

  
  Network events: Traffic, Listen

  
  Action: Allow

  
  

• double click that rule and click the Advanced tab
• at the Local address section, you can see the Port(s) field, which has the value RDP
  
• to change the setting for RDC from port 3389 to 3390, change the Port(s) field to 3390. To allow connections both on 3389 and on 3390, set the Port(s) field to RDP, 3390
  
• click OK, Close and close the BitDefender Security Center
• now your system should be able to receive RDC connections on port 3390

Please post if this solved your problem.
