Hi, please tell us:
1) does the NoMachine Player just close or does it show an error? If so, please attach a screenshot.
2) just so we have a full picture, the version of NoMachine on the server side and the OS on the server side as well.
Logs would also be useful from both sides. Please see the instructions here and send to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com making sure to use the title of this topic as the subject of your email. Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback.
It’s good that guests always need the explicit approval of the desktop owner
And remember that as desktop owner, you can disconnect guests at any time from the system tray selecting ‘Disconnect’ of a specific user or all user. Happy nomachining!
By PIP I suppose you mean “public” IP address? If so, then, it can be that your router doesn’t support UPnP. Or that our UPnP doesn’t support your router :-). Anyway this shouldn’t affect your ability to connect, even from the outside.
Please check my response to a similar post here: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/are-my-settings-for-connecting-over-the-internet-ok#post-39243
Maybe you didn’t already see our online tutorial which is specifically for users connecting over the Internet.

You can also find a variety of other useful tutorials in our support section here:
Can you send us the output of ask of the ‘xrandr’ command on the server whilst reproducing the problem?
Hello,
to be able to connect from outside your LAN, you need to use the public IP address of the computer you want to access. Please check the following articles if you have not already done so:
How to connect over the Internet (enable UPnP to automatically configure port mapping)

https://kb.nomachine.com/AR04S01122You can also check your External IP, for example, on whatismyip.com.
If this doesn’t help, please send a screenshot of the message you are receiving.
NoMachine 8.2.3 has been released and contains the official fix. Thanks everyone for testing the patch and providing their feedback 🙂
Ah ok so you’ve configured your Windows PC to not use a password for remote connections by changing a system policy key, like explained here: https://superuser.com/questions/106917/remote-desktop-without-a-password.
and outlined here:
How to connect to Windows with NoMachine and an empty password
https://kb.nomachine.com/AR05L00802Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, desktop sharing is one of the features of version 8 that we gave considerable thought. Being able to share your desktop with others on the fly needs to be under your control at all times. The input priority mechanisms in NoMachine that you mention mean that you always have control if someone is connecting to your desktop.
It’s not possible to remote into the computer without system credentials (not without explicitly changing your Windows settings). Please check this follow-up in a similar topic: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/how-do-i-create-a-user-name-and-password-for-remote-control#post-37002
Hi, logs show that it’s an issue that we have also reproduced in our labs and are currently working on. For the moment, the only workaround available is to disable Wayland and use x.org.
The issue appears to be on the server side. To understand what’s happening, we need to see the logs. Please submit the server logs following the instructions here https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00243 and sending them to forum[at]nomachine[dot].com.
Hi, can you send us the NoMachine logs from both sides?
For detailed instructions, check this document: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00243
You can also enable debug level 7 from within the server settings (on the Windows 10) if you are using verison 8. Once you’ve reproduced the error, send everything to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com, making sure to use the title of the topic as the subject of your email. Thanks!
Hi,
do you the latest version installed on both client and server? By “community” I assume you mean NoMachine Free Edition.
What Linux distro is installed on the server? Is it with Wayland? If so, please see the following article which contains suggestions and tips for Wayland desktops running in VMs:
Connecting to a Wayland-based desktop running in a Linux virtual machine

Good question. Actually no. But we thought of a product that would solve the same problems that we have within our company and that of our customers who’ve told us about the problems they have within their own organization to manage a large number of machines; machines that can be virtual but also physical, even servers, or users’ desktops. If we were to tell you the truth and say what the alternative products are, we would frankly tell you that there aren’t any 🙂
If we were to think of alternative products, we can think of the system with which you carry out management and access the virtual machines that, for example, Amazon AWS makes available. We could say the management and access system to the virtual machines that Google Cloud makes available, and we could also say the management and access system that Microsoft makes available on MS Azure. However, these are all “products” that are integrated with the access system to the Amazon, Google and MS Cloud Systems and for access to their virtual machines. If we had to name a product that does it on physical machines for use within your company, we don’t know of one. Indeed, since you have done this analysis, if you could tell us who they are, you would be doing us a big favor!
Hi, guest connections (with Guest Desktop Sharing) are for attended computer scenarios. I.e., someone needs to be in front of the remote computer to accept the guest. Guests connect only with the explicit approval of the user who is working on the desktop you want to connect to.
Is it just you connecting to the remote Windows laptop? You can use your Windows system credentials (username and password) to log in to it. As the “desktop owner” you can always connect.
Or are you allowing other users to connect to your laptop? If you want to let others connect and you don’t wish to share your account details, you should create accounts for them on the Windows host (these are called system users). Then, you can set in Server settings -> Security ->Don’t require acceptance if the user logged in as a system user. By default system users must be explicitly accepted by you. Ticking the box means other users (system account users, not guests) won’t need your authorisation.
