If you change this port, it can make it slightly harder for unauthorized people to gain access to the machine.<\/p>\n<p>While some security experts criticize this kind of port number change as \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Security_through_obscurity\">security through obscurity<\/a>,\u201d it may still be sensible to change the port number in addition to taking other security steps such as using a VPN, creating a secure password, and running updates to help protect your machine.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you might want to change your RDP port number if there is a firewall that is blocking 3389. In that case, using a different port that the firewall does not block can allow a connection to your machine using RDP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Connect to a VPN in Windows<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_the_RDP_Port_Number_in_Windows_11\"><\/span>How to Change the RDP Port Number in Windows 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change the RDP port number, we\u2019ll need to make a small edit in the Windows Registry.
