I have a VPS (say, 13.15.65.5) with Windows 2019 and I want to access it by using the Remote Desktop service with a subdomain without using the IP of the VPS.

I configured all settings for the subdomain by using the IP of the VPS in Cloudflare. Then I checked it by pinging the URL and received the messages "Reply from..." and "Success 100%".

But still, I cannot access the server by using that URL with Remote Desktop. Please help me to resolve this.

  • Can you include a screenshot of how things is set up in CloudFlare? Is the IP shown when pinging the IP of the VM?

You proxy your subdomain through Cloudflare. That only works for HTTP(S).

For RDP, you need a DNS record pointing to your IP, so turn off the Proxy status.
