Getting Started

After you have placed your order, you will receive an email containing the remote desktop login credentials for your VPS. This guide will show you how to use these credentials to access your trading VPS from your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPad Pro).

To connect to your VPS from an iOS device, you’ll need to download the Microsoft Windows App from the App Store. This free application provides a secure and reliable connection to your Windows VPS, allowing you to trade on the go from anywhere with an internet connection.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Download the Microsoft Windows App

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad
  2. Search for “Windows App” or use this direct link: Download Windows App
  3. Tap Get to download and install the free app
  4. Once installed, tap Open to launch the application

Step 2: Add Your VPS Connection

  1. In the Windows App, tap the + button in the top-right corner
  2. Select “Add PC” from the menu
  3. In the PC name field, enter your VPS IP address (found in your welcome email)
  4. Tap User account and select “Add user account”
  5. Enter your VPS username (typically “Administrator”)
  6. Enter your VPS password from the welcome email
  7. Tap Save in the top-right corner

Step 3: Configure Connection Settings (Optional)

For optimal performance, you may want to adjust these settings before connecting:

  1. While still in the connection setup, scroll down to Display
  2. Adjust the resolution based on your device:
    • For iPhone: Select “Fit to screen”
    • For iPad: Select “1920×1080” or “Fit to screen”
  3. Under Device & Audio Redirection, you can disable sound if not needed to save bandwidth
  4. Give your connection a friendly name like “Trading VPS” for easy identification
  5. Tap Save to store your settings

Step 4: Connect to Your VPS

  1. From the main screen of the Windows App, you’ll see your saved VPS connection
  2. Tap on your VPS connection tile to initiate the connection
  3. If prompted about certificate verification, tap “Accept” to continue
  4. Wait a few seconds while the connection is established
  5. Your Windows desktop should now appear on your iOS device

Step 5: Using Your VPS on iOS

Here are some helpful tips for navigating your VPS on a touchscreen device:

  • Single tap: Acts as a mouse click
  • Double tap: Opens files and applications
  • Tap and hold: Performs a right-click
  • Pinch to zoom: Zoom in and out of the desktop
  • Three-finger drag: Move windows around the screen
  • Use the keyboard icon: Access the on-screen keyboard when needed
  • Mouse mode: Tap the mouse icon in the toolbar to switch between touch and mouse pointer modes

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting, try these solutions:

  • Connection failed: Verify your VPS IP address is correct and that you have an active internet connection
  • Authentication error: Double-check your username and password, ensuring there are no extra spaces
  • Black screen: Wait 30 seconds for the desktop to load, or disconnect and reconnect
  • Slow performance: Switch to a Wi-Fi connection if using cellular data, or reduce the display resolution
  • Can’t see full desktop: Use pinch-to-zoom gestures or adjust the display settings to “Fit to screen”

Download Windows App from App Store
