How to set up multiple parallel RDP connections through Windows VPS?

Hello!
I work for a small mobile advertising agency.
Blocking services and applications led us to the need to purchase a virtual machine on Windows.

The problem is that with VPS we need 4-6 concurrent connections via RDP.
They write that by default, only one simultaneous RDP connection is supported on a Windows VPS. When you try to open a second RDP session, you are prompted to close the existing connection.

I found an instruction that allows you to bypass the restrictions https://daintycloud.com/disable-enable-multiple-rd... , but maybe there is a ready-made solution?

I have little experience in this matter, I will be glad to any help. Including the help of a specialist in setting up a VPS according to the instructions above

Thank you!

What version of Windows is on the VPS?
If Windows 10 (7, 8, 11) - then this is a limitation of the desktop version of Windows - it is single-user, in the sense that only one user can work at a time. This is a license restriction.
Windows Server is provided for multi-user work, the number of simultaneous connections is also licensed separately. In general, the topic of licensing Windows Server is rather complicated.
There is an RDP wrapper on github that removes this limitation for RDP sessions on desktop Windows. But you must understand that this is a violation of the license. If the VPS is in the Russian Federation, then now you can ignore this. But I don't think it will be for long.

Only one concurrent RDP connection is supported on Windows VPS

That's right, because the workstation license (100% that's exactly what you have) does not provide for a multi-user remote work mode :)
There is a Windows Terminal Server for this, but I am absolutely sure that you will not buy it (and it is quite possible that now you can't buy it. Yes, and it will only work on Windows Server, which is also not cheap.
All "instructions for bypassing restrictions" are actually hacking and violation of the contract with the hoster. If they find out, immediately fly out of the hosting. Bullet.
Hire a person who will replace your hosting Windows with some kind of bootloader, connect your office with a VPS tunnel and set up to go "where necessary" through it.
