Remote desktop connection issue

Is anyone facing issue with remote desktop connection on a Windows 10 from India? I am on Airtel DSL network.
But when I connect my phone internet (Vodafone) everything works good. Any idea what can be the issue? Is it a router related issue?

Perhaps Airtel A.I thinks RDP means Remote Desi Porn ?
Could be a routing issue. Can you ping your VM?
Test the latency with ping. Try a traceroute. Might do a bandwidth test.. Call your ISP of both ends. How does it help if someone says they have it too
Change RDP port and try again. Maybe your provider block standard port only.
@FairyHosting_com hey i have a question, semi relevant here. if i buy a VPS, install windows server whatever or even desktop windows, use rdpwrap, will it work or do i necessarily need to pay for windows cal license? i dont want to do that
“facing issue” could mean one of a great many things. No connection at all? Connection drops in use? Slow connection? High latency? If slow or latent, is this all the time or intermittent? If connected what quality does the client claim (click the little signal strength icon on the control bar)? Is it connecting via UDP or TCP (again this is in the connectivity details, if it says neither than it is using TCP)? Do you have it configured to use a port other than the default 3389? Have you confirmed there are not any odd firewall rules in the Windows firewall that would reject packets from one network but not the other? What have you tried so far? Have you confirmed you can see the remote host at all over that network? Can you see the open port even if you can't connect (try nmap -P0 -p3389)?
To get a useful answer you need to give more detail. No one is going to sit and type out a possible solution or investigation path for the possible things that might cause something as vague as “an issue”…
Licensing can be complicated, but I'd guess that if you are doing anything that would normally require a CAL then yes you officially need one. Though there is always the question of “how would they know?”.
