I have a dedicated Windows server, I installed Ubuntu in a virtual machine (VMware Workstation) and wanted to connect to it remotely from my home PC (Basically this )
VMware uses port 443, so I forwarded it in Windows Firewall and tried doing the same in my server's Firewall that's accessible through my control panel.


But it didn't work! The IP I entered in 'Destination' is my server's IP.

How did you setup your vm network ... bridged or NAT. If it's NAT you have to do port forwarding through the vmware control panel.

BTW, your firewall rule lets through a lot of stuff and as a rule it is suggested not to post public IP addresses. You don't need to get DDOSed.
