Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:34 pm

Windows 10 already has built-in tools to connect to a VPS, and it’s very easy to do. Here’s how:

1. Open the Start menu and click “Settings.”

2. Under “Network and Internet,” click “Network and Internet Options.”

3. In the “Network and Internet Options” window, click the “Advanced” button.

4. Under “Connections,” click the “LAN Connections” tab.

5. In the “LAN Connections” tab, click the “Add a new connection” button.

6. In the “Add a new connection” window, type in the IP address of the VPS you want to connect to, and then click the “OK” button.

7. In the “Connect to server” window, click the “Connect” button.

8. In the “Connect to server” window, you’ll see the status of the connection.

If the connection is successful, you’ll see a message that says “The server is available.” If the connection is not successful, you’ll see a message that says “The server could not be found.”.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with connecting to a VPS, we recommend that you seek assistance from your hosting provider or IT department. Incorrectly connecting to a VPS can result in data loss or corruption.

9. If the connection is successful, you’ll be able to access the VPS.
