How do I access my Windows server?
All Windows servers are deployed with standard RDP open. This port will be open directly on the Internet. Once you are connected, you should secure this port. Changing the port number will prevent bots and scripts from finding it, however a determined attacker will find it through normal scanning. The best course of action is to use a firewall to restrict access via IP.
Other possible options include using a bastion host and configuring the firewall to only respond to this host. A popular open source option is Apache Guacamole.
Another option would be to implement RDP port knocking.
