We are excited to offer a new tool and method for connecting to the RCE.  The NX protocol is an open protocol with client viewers that offer a consistent interface across the Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms.

Unlike the VNC protocol, there is no need to establish a secure tunneled connection. The NoMachine NX client (a free download from the NoMachine wesbite) handles all of this for you.  You simply have to enter your username and password to establish a secure connection to the RCE.

NX client comes with other benefits, including dynamic resizing of your session window, better handling of slower connections, and more.

Future RCE updates will deprecate the use of VNC and will support only NX client connections, and we encourage you to start using the NX client now. Please contact us if you encounter any issues.  For information on connecting to the RCE with NX client, refer to the guide Connecting to the RCE.
