Success Stories
Why You Can Trust FreeRDP.edu.pl
We are a registered non-profit educational project. Our mission is pure: democratizing access to computing resources. We maintain strict transparency in how we handle data and manage our hardware.
Built by Educators, for Students
FreeRDP.edu.pl started as a small university project in Poland and has grown into a global community. We are maintained by a dedicated group of volunteer sysadmins, educators, and open-source enthusiasts.
Our project is sustained through generous hardware donations from tech companies and small grants from educational foundations. This allows us to offer 100% free resources without relying on invasive advertising or data selling.
Your Questions Answered
Any student, educator, or researcher affiliated with a recognized academic institution. You will need to provide a student ID or an institutional email address during the application process.
Yes. Our core mission is non-profit. There are no subscription fees for academic users. We are funded by donations and institutional grants.
We operate on a fair-use policy. High-intensity tasks like crypto-mining, commercial web hosting, or bulk mailing are strictly forbidden and will result in immediate suspension.
No. These resources are strictly for learning, testing, and academic research. Using the RDP for profit-generating activities violates our non-profit status.
Initial access is usually granted for one semester (6 months). You can easily renew your access by providing updated proof of your academic status.
A basic understanding of how to use a computer is enough. We provide step-by-step documentation on how to connect via RDP or SSH.
We currently offer Windows Server 2022 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Other Linux distributions are available upon special request for research projects.
We use end-to-end encryption for all remote sessions. We do not monitor your activities unless a security alert is triggered, and we never sell your personal data.
We have an active community forum and a Discord server where volunteers and fellow students can help you with technical issues.
Educational institutions can contact us for "Lab Packages," where we provision a block of resources specifically for a particular class or department.
Donations are used to pay for data center electricity, bandwidth, and hardware replacements. We publish a yearly transparency report on our finances.
The service is open to students worldwide. However, users in certain regions may experience higher latency based on their physical distance from our nearest node.
