Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Remmina and what they use it for.
  • FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation
    Https://remmina.org/ The promise behind this sounds like the holy grail of Remote Access. Is it Linux-only for the clients? Or can you use Mac or Windows to reach it? - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • "I need to test something on a Mac real quick", as solved by AWS EC2
    Next up, we need some sort of VNC client on our workstation. I strongly recommend Remmina if you value not spending your time debugging and configuring things. Just select "VNC" from the main connection bar's dropdown, punch in localhost:5900, and hit enter. An authentication screen will pop up: fill it with ec2-user for the username, and whatever password you provided to dscl earlier. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
  • Dex to Windows remote access?
    Using RD Client on DeX to RDP in to Windows. Sometimes I use self-hosted Remmina to get access for Windows, Linux, CLI and other things. Source: 11 months ago
  • Microsoft Remote Desktop
    I use the Remmina RDP Client multiple hours per day every day to connect to various servers on both my home and work networks. Source: 12 months ago
  • Dualbooting windows vs. virtual machine vs. remote vm
    I would try out a Windows VM on your home server and use the RDP protocol to connect to it with https://remmina.org/ or https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Vinagre . (Will need a Windows Pro version for enabling remote access with RDP.). Source: 12 months ago
  • Go To Software/Tools for Programmers
    On linux I use remmina to do basically the same thing. I actually think remmina is better, it's really too bad it's linux only. Source: 12 months ago
  • GUI Control, fedora to fedora
    You can use RDP, it's already installed in Fedora. (Assuming Gnome/Wayland), you go to Settings > Sharing, and enable Remote Desktop. It'll generate a new password for access by default. I only use with MS Remote Desktop from a Mac, but I think people generally like Remmina as a client. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Good alternative to mRemoteNG
    MobaXterm on Windows or Remmina on Linux. Remmina should also work on Windows through WSL. Though haven't tested it that way. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Has anyone set up a separate miniPC with windows that one could remote into for full Office apps?
    Workaround is to use Linux and install some rdp like https://remmina.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Device no longer compatible with Microsoft RDP?
    Https://remmina.org/ is a great alternative -- though it works MUCH better on crouton than crostini. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Remmina is looking for new maintainers
    Remmina is a remote desktop connection that has many other features Https://remmina.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Xpra: Multi-platform screen and application forwarding system for x11
    I had good results using Remmina (https://remmina.org/) for RDP to a Windows host from a Raspberry Pi. The only thing that let it down at the time was a lack of "clean" multi-monitor support. I'm not sure if it's been improved in the year since I last tried, but you could fudge it by creating a single window that was 2x monitors wide. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • What are you using for Remote Desktop + SSH client?
    Well, I type 'ssh' for ssh in my terminal :) You probably mean a gui for everything together, right? I use Remmina for the windows remotes I have to use at work sometimes from my Linux machine, works good enough and supports all protocols you listed. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Remote desktop audio on ChromeOS
    I've tried everything I can think of to work around this, even installing the Linux app, Remmina, through terminal. However, it's even worse, especially with respect to audio. Natively, it won't even detect the microphone at all. I tried following this to fix the issue, and could get it to recognize the microphone as existing, but would either freeze up or just not work at all when I tried to use the microphone. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Need some recommendations for remote management
    I guess Remmina or Ásbrú Connection Manager is worth trying out. Ásbrú seems to be more a universal tool for all types of connections, while Remmina only focus on remote desktop. I've only used Remmina myself, and it does what it's supposed to (tested it with RDP, VNC and SPICE). Source: over 1 year ago
  • can i remote access windows desktop from linux laptop?
    Depending on the Linux distro, you'll have a built in viewer or you can try another one. I personally like Remmina. Source: over 1 year ago
  • IS there a KDE alternative to Remmina?
    There is an Ok GTK-based SSH-manager Remmnia, one thing though: it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the KDE (like using the ssh manager, and overall looks). Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Connecting to Windows machine via RDP trough another Linux machine in the same local network
    Using remmina you can tunnel your rdp via ssh. Just set up the correct settings in the SSH-Tunnel settings in the config. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • RDP Clients for Debian: An incomplete review
    I also experimented a lot with remote desktop solutions. For client, I use: - Remmina - https://remmina.org/ - Apache Guacamole (HTML5, browser based) - https://guacamole.apache.org/ For RDP Server on Linux I use: - X11: xrdp - for a KDE guide, see https://pilabor.com/blog/2021/05/remote-desktop-with-xrdp-and-kubuntu/ - Wayland / GNOME: Already integrated (beta, some caveats) - for a guide, see... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Last Windows 11 update changed all default browser settings to Edge
    Https://remmina.org/ I use this to access/admin a large amount of windows boxes. The keyboard shortcuts are awesome. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • What are some of the coolest/most useful programs to have in 2022?
    For the Penguins here, Remmina (https://remmina.org/ ) works pretty well. Source: about 2 years ago

14 Best TeamViewer Alternatives of 2022
Remmina has support for multiple sessions at once. It even allows file transfers. For security, Remmina uses AES 256-bit encryption. However, to use Remmina, you will need to provide the IP address of the remote server or remote computer. Of course, you can define the color depth, connection quality, and so on.
Best Linux remote desktop clients of 2022
Vinagre has a minimal interface that’s very much like Remmina. However, there aren’t nearly as many advanced options behind Remmina’s simple GUI. To connect all you need to do is pick a protocol from the pull-down list and enter the IP address of the remote VNC server. What makes Vinagre more intuitive and user friendly than Remmina is the very helpful Find button that hunts for active servers on the local network.
