Some corporate networks have firewalls and proxy servers that can block or filter outbound HTTPS traffic (TCP port 443) and this can cause issues keeping a stable connection to our RDP Solution. Our RDP Gateway addresses can be added to your networks proxy bypass list and a firewall rule added to allow direct HTTPS traffic to our gateway's address/IP to resolve this issue.
