Is it possible to make a reverse RDP connection on windows server?

sr flag

My Windows Server 2016 is behind a router, which i have no access to. So i can't open ports and do port-forwarding. I want to connect to my server via RDP. Sure I could use some 3rd party apps like Teamviewer, but is there a way to establish a RDP connection in reverse? Like running a powershell command on the windows server to a remote host (who is a real server with a static IP and is listening) and "invite" him to open a RDP connection to the server? Kind of like a real RDP connection, just in reverse.

I did not find a single result at google, seems like i am the only one who ever had this thought, so I guess it doesn't work that way, right? Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?

RDP does not support reverse (or "outgoing") connections in any way, sorry.

If I had to do something like this, I would use a outgoing SSH session on my server, with port forwarding configured on 3389, to a 3rd party host. You would be able to connect to the 3rd party host as you would to the windows server.

having an OWN server behind a FOREIGN Router and not gaining the access you need is indeed not a common problem tbh.

I would setup a VPN-(Client)-Connection from that server to whatever VPN-Server your server on the outside can offer - then you can access the jailed server at any time through the tunnel, using any service you like.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
