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 Ubuntu Linux desktop or laptop.

Ubuntu comes with Remmina, a powerful remote desktop client that provides excellent RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) support. If Remmina isn’t installed on your system, we’ll show you how to install it.


Text Guide

Step 1 – Locate Your Forex VPS Details Email

After your VPS has been setup you will receive an email from us that contains your VPS login credentials.

Step 2 – Install Remmina (if needed)

Most Ubuntu installations include Remmina by default. Open Activities and search for “Remmina”. If it’s not installed, open Terminal and run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

Step 3 – Launch Remmina

Press the Super key (Windows key) or click Activities, then type “Remmina” and launch the application.

Step 4 – Create a New VPS Connection

In Remmina, click the + button to create a new connection. In the Protocol dropdown, select “RDP – Remote Desktop Protocol”. Fill in the connection details:

  • Name: Trading VPS (or any friendly name)
  • Server: Your VPS IP address from your email
  • User name: Administrator
  • User password: Your unique VPS password from the email

These credentials must be entered EXACTLY as displayed in the email.

Step 5 – Connect to Your VPS

Click Save and Connect. If prompted about certificate verification, click “Yes” or “Accept” to continue. Your Windows VPS desktop should now appear.

Step 6 – You’re Connected!

You should now be connected to your forex VPS from Ubuntu, and ready to trade!

TIP: Use Ctrl+Alt+F to toggle full-screen mode for a better trading experience.


Helpful Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Ctrl+Alt+F: Toggle full-screen mode
  • Ctrl+Alt+T: Toggle toolbar visibility
  • Ctrl+Alt+Plus/Minus: Zoom in and out
  • Copy/Paste: Clipboard is shared between Ubuntu and your VPS

Troubleshooting

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

  • Connection refused: Verify your VPS IP address and ensure your internet connection is stable
  • Authentication failed: Double-check your username and password, ensure no extra spaces
  • Certificate errors: Click “Accept” or “Yes” when prompted about certificate verification
  • Remmina not found: Install it using: sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp
  • Slow performance: In Remmina settings, reduce resolution or adjust color depth settings

Conclusion

Congratulations! You should now be connected to your VPS from your Ubuntu Linux desktop, ready to monitor and manage your trades.
