How to Connect to Your VPS from an iPhone or iPad

Connect to your VPS from an iPhone or iPad using the Windows App — install it, add your server, and log in step by step.

You can access your QuantVPS server from anywhere using the Windows App (formerly Microsoft Remote Desktop) on your iPhone or iPad. Whether you're traveling or just away from your desk, this mobile connection method keeps your trading environment within reach.


Step #1: Download the Windows App

  • Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.

  • Search for "Windows App" by Microsoft Corporation. (If you already have the older Microsoft Remote Desktop app installed, Microsoft has retired it in favor of Windows App — download the new one.)

  • Tap Get or Install to download the app.

You're All Set

Once connected, you'll see your VPS desktop — just like on your computer. You can open your trading platform, monitor markets, and execute trades securely from anywhere.


Tips for Mobile Use

  • Use a stable network: Wi-Fi is preferred for smoother performance, but 5G/LTE also works well.

  • Prefer larger screens: An iPad offers better usability for managing charts, platforms, and terminals.

  • Watch battery usage: Prolonged remote sessions can drain battery quickly — keep your device charged during use.


Security Best Practices

  • Protect your credentials: Never share your VPS login. Use a secure password manager if needed.

  • Secure your device: Use Face ID, Touch ID, or a strong passcode on your mobile device to prevent unauthorized access.
