It’s enough for me that I’m going to be ditching TeamViewer in my lab environment and remote debugging customer machines, and use NoMachine with some ssh tunnels to avoid exposing it to the internet entirely. I found this to be very stable, compared to RDP or VNC, you have the same access, NoMachine prompts you for authentication on the local machine before you can login, it’s process is well documented for the user and the administrator. This is consistent on 1920x1080p screens.ĭesktop Application is required if you want to connect: In the future, it would be great if it had some compatible web-client, which would free up space on my machine if I primarily want to host, but occasionally want to connect to others. Consįont Rendering: The fonts appear a bit pixelated when scaling to 1920×1080, but seem to resolve themselves when you scale higher, or lower (eg 800×600), I’ve tried with three different monitors all 1920×1080, and one 4K monitor. This is also configurable, which makes it even better!Īccess VNC Desktops! I found out this morning that if you have a vnc server running and a desktop open (even if you’re not connected via VNC), when opening NoMachine, it’ll show you available desktops (0 or 1 or desktops), I selected 1, and it brought me to the VNC session Desktop, so now I’m controlling my regular desktops plus the VNC session without having to open VNC anymore. Latency? What latency! Generally, you don’t notice much if any latency when using NoMachine, just like you’d expect from Remote Desktop Protocol, VNC, and even TeamViewer.įull Control! I can fully control this machine, execute any commands I’d like without having to worry about getting the logged in user to approve my actions. So far it’s been a successful test on my local machine, and I can easily connect to remote machines.

I’ve been experimenting with NoMachine since yesterday to see how it holds it.
