Remote Desktop Protocol server

Hello how do I check to see if a laptop that I RDP to internally is visible to the out side world, and what precautions should i take to prevent this.

Thank You in Advance.

Kind Regards Claudio 

  • It will only be visible to the outside world if you open the port that RDP uses.
