How do I configure Norton 360 to allow me to connect to Windows10 Remote Desktop ?
Background: I worked through the OpenVPN on Ubuntu 16.04 guide guide, and was able to connect on all of my clients. I was able to ping my mobile device clients, but not my Windows10 based OpenVPN client. But, after turning off my Norton firewall AND Norton auto protect I could ping it! I tried Remote Desktop with those Norton services off and connected through my droplet based server, so I guess my problem is in Norton.
Can anyone advise on how to configure Norton to allow RD via OpenVia?
I can connect to RD via my home IP with the correct ports forwarded.

Heya, @virgil
You’ll need to adjust the firewall settings within Norton 360. Within the Firewall rule you need to specify
- Communication: Select
TCPandUDP - Specify the IP range if you want to limit it to your VPN subnet
- Specify the ports used by Remote Desktop (by default, RDP uses TCP port 3389)
Hope that this helps!
