The free edition allows to connect to an existing X display (also known as display shadowing of a live session with a physical display) or, if no X display is available (e.g. Clients exist for Linux, MS Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Since NoMachine version 4, the software is proprietary and currently two editions are available: Free and Enterprise. TeamViewer), NoMachine does not require an intermediary server to establish the connection. Unlike some other remote desktop solutions (e.g. The major drawback of these is that they utilise a built-in X server of nxagent, which originates from the year 2005 and some current X applications cannot run due to unsupported features available only in newer versions of X libraries. There are derivatives based on core NX libraries like FreeNX and X2Go. Until version 3.x, NoMachine was known as NX and available under GPL. I have spent about 2 hours on this total and feel like a major retard for trying to install something so seemingly trivial.NoMachine enables you to access a graphical desktop of a computer over the network. I looked through various freeNX sites and rpm repos but they all have deadlinks, readme.txt's stating the files are no hosted for some random reason, or point back to, which no longer has. I have also tried looking for previous versions such as 3.5 and cannot find an installer for that either. I have tried downloading and installing the latest server versions on the linux machine but the main one, and enterprise version, do not allow ssh. Port 22/ssh is my only option as arbitrary ports such as 4000 are blocked on the server which this is being installed on.

I download the latest from and it will not allow me to connect over port port 22. And their client allows for me to easily restore disconnected sessions, another plus for flaky internet connections. I want to use the NX protocol for remote desktop because it is much faster, so I hear, when going over the internet. I have spent about 2 hours with no luck on this one.
