Getting started
Connect to your Forex VPS from a Mac, iPhone or Android
4 min readUpdated July 2026
Your Forex VPS runs Windows, but you can connect to it from almost any device using Remote Desktop (RDP). Your EAs keep trading on the VPS 24/7 whether you're watching from a Mac, a phone or a tablet — connecting is just to check in.
macOS
- Install the free 'Windows App' (formerly 'Microsoft Remote Desktop') from the Mac App Store.
- Open it and click 'Add PC'.
- In 'PC name', enter the address and port from your dashboard, e.g. 203.0.113.10:41234.
- Add your username ('trader' or as shown) and password, then double-click the PC to connect.
iPhone and iPad
- Install 'Windows App' / 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' from the App Store.
- Tap '+' → 'Add PC' and enter the same address:port from your dashboard.
- Save your username and password, then tap the PC tile to open your VPS desktop.
- Use two-finger gestures to scroll and the on-screen keyboard for input.
Android
- Install 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' (or 'Windows App') from Google Play.
- Tap '+' → 'Desktop' and enter the address:port from your dashboard.
- Add your credentials and tap the saved connection to log in.
Always use the exact address and custom port shown in your dashboard — for security we move RDP off the default port 3389. On a phone, connect over Wi-Fi where possible for a smoother session.
A phone is great for checking positions or restarting an EA on the go — but for heavy configuration, a Mac or PC with a bigger screen is easier. Either way, the VPS keeps running when you disconnect.
