I've tried all the free VNC clients: RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UltraVNC, and TurboVNC and they are all laggy in various places, even on a LAN, and each has various problems with transmitting system keys, especially Cmd-Tab.
So far, I have resisted paying Aqua $249 knowing that their software may become useless with a future macOS update and they might not fix it for 1+ years again. iRapp had OS X El Capitan support a few months after it was released, but when I asked for a trial license from Aqua they said Aqua is still a week or more out from having a beta with support for El Capitan (and this was over a year after EC was released!). Aqua is supposedly faster (they've improved on the RDP protocol and call it AAP) but unfortunately they are slow in development. In fact, Aqua was first with RDP and they sued iRapp for reverse engineering their product, but lost the case. Even a trial license I had a copy of wouldn't install without their license server being up.Īfter some research, I found that Aqua Connect is the only iRapp competitor around that offers an OS X RDP server.
As of around my license for iRapp server said it was blocked because it couldn't contact the license server and I could find no way to get it working again. Click the link below and follow the table to see how you can easily connect to a mac remotely.IRapp was my favorite fast screen sharing server for OS X, but they went bankrupt around June 2016 and their license server was taken down at some point. We have cam across an excellent link that gives you all the platforms and how you can connect to a mac on them. Otherwise if you are using a VPN to connect to the network the Mac is on, you will be able to enter the LAN IP of the mac in the VNC viewer. Note that to access the Mac directly from across the web through a firewall, you will need to forward port 5900 to the internal IP of the Mac. To enable VNC on the Mac go to System Preferences, SharingĬheck on to Enable Apple Remote Desktop, then click access privilegesĬheck on to enable VNC viewers to control screen and set a secure password. A free VNC viewer for PC can be downloaded from The steps below show you how to enable VNC viewer on the Mac. Macs have the capability to allow VNC access to the screens. Often we want to provide support to Mac systems from our PCs.
