Connect via VNC

Your Windows VPS is accessible via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). However, if you encounter RDP connection problems, you can use VNC to directly access your VPS console.

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) allows you to see and interact with your VPS desktop as if you were physically in front of it.

VNC Advantages
  • Local access bypassing firewalls or network restrictions.
  • Direct console access, even if RDP is blocked.
  • Useful for unlocking a Windows session or resolving connection issues.
  • Allows you to manage the VPS without depending on RDP.
  • Allows you to change screen resolution and other graphics settings.

Log in to your ElypseCloud client area.

2. Go to the services section​

3. Select your Windows VPS​

Click Manage on the line corresponding to your Windows VPS.

You have two options to access the VNC console:
