Hey @gabrielemarrano,

Hello @gabrielemarrano
Would you mind sharing the exact error so we can check this for you?
You can check if the xrdp is running on your droplet
If the service is running you can try to connect again. If the status of xrdp is not
running, you may have to start the service manually with this command:After executing the above command, verify the status again to ensure xrdp is in a
runningstate.You can also try to connect with different RDP client as the problem may be with the client.
