I show you how to do it later in this post. To establish the connection from outside of your local network, you also need to configure your router for outside access. Note, this is your private IP address and to access this computer you need to be in the same local network e.g. You can also find it in the graphical network settings of Ubuntu: Navigate to the folder with the downloaded file and extract the archive:

You need to install and configure ThinLinc Server on the computer that you want to access remotely. For now, let’s start with a simple scenario to establish remote access to a single Ubuntu Desktop machine and explore the features and performance of ThinLinc. I may make a separate blog post on such an advanced server setup. ThinLinc can make many remote servers work together with redundancy, load balance, and high availability for multi-user remote access. It is much more powerful than I will show you in this blog post using a single machine. However, ThinLinc shines in providing access to Linux-based desktops in server-based computing infrastructure. It is also secure, easy to install, and simple to configure. Thus you can access your remote desktop computer from Linux, macOS, Windows, and a web browser. Another unique feature of ThinLinc is that besides client software, it also provides a web access to a remote desktop.

Moreover, ThinLinc also redirects sound from a remote computer - a feature that is not available in any other Linux remote desktop software. It beats all other Linux remote desktop software by its image quality and responsiveness. I use ThinLinc to get access to my home Ubuntu desktop computer with a graphical interface remotely.

It is free for up to 10 concurrent users! It is roughly 80% open-source (TigerVNC, noVNC, OpenSSH, CUPS PulseAudio) with the remaining 20% comprising proprietary code for administrating, licensing, and automation. ThinLinc lets you access your Linux-based desktop on any device from anywhere with a seamless graphical desktop experience that is indistinguishable from a local desktop session.
