Translations:Creating a Windows VM/31/en

1. On the Security Groups tab, select Access & Security; on the default row, click
2. On the next screen, click
3. RDP has a predefined rule. Select it in the Rules dropdown menu and leave CIDR' under Remote.
4. Replace the 0.0.0.0/0 in the CIDR text box with <your-ip>/32.

   If you don't know your current IP address you can see it by going to ipv4.icanhazip.com in your browser. Leaving 0.0.0.0/0 will allow anyone to attempt a connection with your VM. You should never allow completely open access with RDP as your VM will be susceptible to brute force attacks. This replacement will restrict RDP access to your VM only from this IP. If you want to allow access from other IPs you can add additional RDP rules with different IP address or you can specify a range of IP addresses by using this tool to calculate your CIDR rule from a range of IP addresses.

   If you leave RDP open to the world by leaving the 0.0.0.0/0 in the CIDR text box, a cloud administrator may revoke access to your VM until the security rule is fixed.

5. Finally, click the Add button.
