With a double NAT there’s not much you can do. Take a look here: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/problems-connecting-to-one-remote-computer
All you can do is wait for NoMachine Network to be released.
I think what you need is Workstation. It would probably fit your scenario better than the free version. You could try the evaluation version.
Hmm. The free version of NoMachine does not limit access to LAN only, I just want to make that clear.
So it must be something else. I suggest you try the following:
1) Uninstall (removing all traces completely) and reinstall. Your screenshot shows no !M icon (which is an indication of the server running) plus your screenshot actually says ‘no server running’. If the server was running, it would show the External IP.
2) If you continue to not see the External IP, from a terminal on the server please run:
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --upnpmap sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --upnpstatusIt should show something like this:
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --upnpstatus Local IP 10.0.1.XX Gateway IP 10.0.1.1 External IP XX.XXX.XXX.XXX NX port 4000 mapped to: XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:234843) See the following article: https://www.nomachine.com/AR11L00827
If your home router doesn’t accept UPnP or NAT-PMP commands, it will be necessary to configure it through the router’s admin interface
Hi, the equivalent to the free version for a commercial environment is Enterprise Desktop (installed on the VMs), so we do have a product that caters for your needs (enabling access to virtual machines that you are hosting 😉 ) The moment you start using it for monetary gain, it is no longer personal use IMHO, but you can talk to Sales and see what they say – https://www.nomachine.com/contact-request.
You can compare the two products here: https://www.nomachine.com/remote-access-for-everyone
The users that are going to access your virtual machines using NoMachine can either use the free version or if they prefer the can install Enterprise Client (also freely available to download). It doesn’t matter.
My two cents, if you are going to create 10-15 VMs and provide access to all/some of them using NoMachine, you should buy a pack of 10. That works out at $24.50 per year.
Hi Eric,
have you looked at the tutorial here? https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-nomachine#internet
When you got the IP address from your remote computer to access it over the LAN, you should have seen an IP address for access over the Internet (see fig. 9 and fig. 10).
@kvic, can you please check your email inbox for further instructions.
A ‘connection refused’ error is usually raised if there are no services listening on that port, or if a firewall is rejecting the connection. Can you check whether you can connect with another client to the same server (I take it that this computer is your personal PC). It might be that your university doesn’t allow this type of access from outside?
Hi, compare the free and Enterprise Desktop option here: https://www.nomachine.com/remote-access-for-everyone
it says 44$/year, but it gives different pricing for different OS, what does this mean?
Hm, I’m not sure where you are looking. Perhaps you are seeing the pricing for the packs of 10 licenses which are geared towards corporate use? For one computer it’s enough to install one license. If you check the link I pasted, you can see it costs $44.50 regardless of whether it’s Windows, Mac, Linux or Raspberry 🙂
what should I purchase?
If you are connecting simultaneously from two computers/devices (whether it’s Linux, Windows or other supported operating system) you will need Enterprise Desktop for Linux on the remote computer you want to access. (I say Linux because you wrote that you are connecting to a Linux computer). NoMachine’s licensing model is what we call “per server” and that means the license is installed on the remote computer you want to connect to. So your set up will be:
2 clients on which you install the free version or alternatively Enterprise Client.
1 Enterprise Desktop on the remote computer you are connecting to (if you want more than one connection) OR the free version if one connection is enough.
Take a look the FAQs here: https://www.nomachine.com/faq, the first five are probably the answers you are looking for 🙂
Two users connecting at the same time to a remote computer counts as two connections. With the free version installed on the remote computer you and your friend will not be able to connect at the same time, only separately. The free version allows one connection, so if you want two connections or more to the remote computer being, try Enterprise Desktop.
How do I share my desktop with another user if I have the free version installed?
https://www.nomachine.com/AR10K00703Thanks for letting us know. Just so other users can easily find how to change the default desktop when launching a NoMachine virtual desktop session, the correct article is:

https://www.nomachine.com/AR04K00667It’s not a question of missing documentation about multi-touch events, it’s that multi-touch events are not handled at all. As I wrote earlier, we first need to first evaluate how such events are received to be able to send them to the server in order to add support for multi-touch commands. Definitely something to explore further.
When NoMachine prompts you to insert the username and password, you need to insert the credentials of the account of the Windows machine. Remote login to Windows with empty password is forbidden by Windows policies: https://www.nomachine.com/AR05L00802.
But it is possible to connect without using system password. There are two ways to achieve it.
1. Connect with using private key authentication (https://www.nomachine.com/AR02L00785).
2. Enable NoMachine database. To do it – edit server.cfg as an administrator (in the default it’s located in the %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\NoMachine\etc directory).Uncomment and change the keys to following values:
EnableUserDB 1
EnablePassDB 1More details you can find here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT02O00125#10.1.
