Because VNC can be used web-based or as a separate software.Īdministrators who depend on frequent use of the remote desktop usually opt for the software-based variant. However, it is important to differentiate between two different approaches. The connection via Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is an important possibility to use remote control software on the Raspberry Pi. Equally popular is the use of apps, which brings different configuration options. To connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely, there are different possibilities: Connecting to the Raspberry Pi remotely via the Internet is just one of them. This makes it possible to select and add the appropriate Raspberry Pi device. Software solutions such as TeamViewer will display the IP address and gateway details of a new device. Registration is usually done by searching for new devices. To start a remote connection to the Raspberry Pi from a Mac, the Raspberry Pi must first be registered. Finally, it is necessary to install the downloaded updates. This is important because many updates are aimed at strengthening the security of the systems. The update ensures that the latest relevant system updates are installed. It can be done either via an Ethernet cable or conveniently via WIFI. Update and installationīefore starting to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely, an internet connection must be available. This makes the passwords for the account and the computer different, which in turn increases the Raspberry Pi security. For a high level of security, it is also advisable to change the password. Usually, however, both connection methods can be enabled or disabled via the configuration.Īfter activation, the VNC icon should be accessible via the menu bar. Which of the two technologies can be used depends on individual preferences. Once an account is available for registration, it is necessary to activate VNC or SSH. This means it should be sufficiently long, combine lower and upper case letters, and contain numbers and symbols. Important: For remote access, you should always choose a strong and secure password. Creating an account is very easy, as it only requires an email and a password. The first step to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely is to create an account.
