Xrdp has been buggy for me as an RDP server... but... it's been a godsend as a VNC proxy.

The student computers at my lab run Windows and do not allow user's to install software or run foreign executables. They have great monitors though. I use an RDP instance to access my VNC linux boxes remotely.

Windows 7 and Windows 10 come with a built-in RDP client.

Also, VNC is pretty insecure. So I only listen on localhost, then connect via RDP for authentication.
