How to change the RDP port (Remote Desktop)
  1. As the administrator user, run the Registry Editor (regedit).
  2. Open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp.
  3. Change the PortNumber value in decimal format (the default RDP port is 3389)
  4. Allow access to the new RDP port in Windows Firewall. For example, if you set port 45232, run the following commands to allow access to it:
    netsh firewall add portopening TCP 45232 MyNewRDP enable all
    netsh firewall add portopening UDP 45232 MyNewRDP enable all
  5. Reboot the server
  6. When connecting to the server, specify the new port after the IP, separated by a colon. For example, if your server's IP is xx.xx.xx.xx and the new port is 45232, connect to xx.xx.xx.xx:45232
