Accessing Your Raspberry Pi Remotely: A Guide to Ubuntu and NoMachine

Are you tired of being tied to your physical location when working with your Raspberry Pi? Look no further! In this article, we will explore the best methods for remote access to your Raspberry Pi, including Ubuntu and NoMachine.

Before we dive in, it's essential to understand that XRDP uses the standard port 3389. This means that if you need to open or redirect access on your router or firewall, you'll want to allow traffic through this port.

One common issue users face is auto-login on their Raspberry Pi. To bypass this, you can disable auto-login in the Raspberry Pi Configuration tool or use another account (create a new user). However, please note that this method currently doesn't work on a fresh installation of Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye.

For those new to the world of Raspberry Pi, I recommend checking out my free Raspberry Pi glossary. This comprehensive guide will help you navigate the jargon and get started with your projects.
