Is this thread dead? I need help with RDP in home environment. I need to acces my home computer from my class with RDP and I only want to allow access to remote machines that have a certificate issued by me (yes, I issued a certificate my self, copied on a stick and imported it in the classroom pc). I also configured RDP from GPO to use that specific certificate, but when I tried to access it from a different machine (tested from mobile too), it offered a default generated cert, thus allowing the connection. How can I force it to use the issued certificate and stop it from allowing connection if that certificate is not present on the connecting device? I don't have a server or AD or anything of sorts (for now), it's just a simple desktop with Windows 10 Pro... I'm studying Network and Systems Administration and we work a lot in VMs and I'm tired of having to clone machines back and forth to finish my practices, I want to access the VM at home directly, and since I can only get access and custom ports open by having a public IP (and out of CG-NAT infrastructure), I'm completely open to RDP attacks. I do have separate accounts for the users that I use with RDP but they have access the other drives/partitions and parts of the files of the admin account (since I might need to get something from my Desktop, Documents) and I don't want to mess with user permissions for now. I still think the most secure option in this case will be blocking access if no certificate is present. Thanks in advance!
