Notes
- This video was made with a Mac, but the remote.itPi image can be setup using a Mac or Windows computer.
- (7:35) Devices which are “Added from network” should use static IP or DHCP reservation so that the LAN IP address doesn’t change in the event of a power cycle. For more details, visit: https://docs.remote.it/network-services
- (9:56) Proxy connections will time out, but Peer-2-Peer connections will not. For more information about Peer-2-Peer and proxy connections, visit: https://docs.remote.it/peer-to-peer-p2p-vs.-proxy-connections
- (11:06) On a mac, you can also copy the vnc://proxyaddress and paste it directly into your internet browser to open the ScreenSharing application.
