Hi Guys,
Currently, I am using win10 RDP client to connect to work and do some work. I have read upon the security issues and people are saying it is insecure and recommending to use other apps such as TeamViewer etc. The reason I am using win10 RDP is because I found it is faster than the TeamViewer app. I searched over the internet and implemented few changes to win10 RDP and I am wondering if these steps are sufficient to protect the connection or still not enough and should move on to TeamViewer.
Will above changes serve the purpose or do I still be expose to risk? Any input will be valuable?
Thanks in advance

- changed the port number from default port. Also, a firewall rule created to block port 3389
- in windows firewall rule added to connect to only a specific IP address - (static IP from home added)
- 18 digit long password lower/upper case alpha numeric, special characters
- in win policy activated account lockup after 3 attempts
- NLA authentication enabled
- added my profile only to accept the connection, removed everyone
- make few changes to Local Group Policy -> Remote Desktop->Security -> connection encryption level, high, require use of specific security layer to SSL
Will above changes serve the purpose or do I still be expose to risk? Any input will be valuable?
Thanks in advance
