What are people using instead of RealVNC for remote raspberry pi access. RealVNC seems to be about to limit free access

Hey Nicci,
If you are running Raspbian, Raspberry Pi themselves have just created their own remote access service. It is in beta and is all done through a Raspberry Pi account, but it looks like one of the most hassle-free methods right now.
Hope it helps!

I know GUIs can make your life much simpler and dont want to say what you should use… just keep in mind that most things can be done via the shell/terminal. If you can get away with that, then SSH works.
My modern day concern is I think all remote access comes with some level of risk. So keep in mind that if its access over the internet you may want to consider a VPN of sorts; then run your remote access GUI/Shell. If the VPN is not an option, try to limit inbound access to fixed IP lists.
Of course, I could be jumping the gun here and you just want a remote access to the pi in the other room

I really like Nginx Proxy Manager for accessing web servers off-prem. The only tradeoff with this is that you need a domain name. An alternative is Twingate, through which you can create a zero-trust network and access web servers and your actual system remotely.

I use remote.it (https://www.remote.it/) - easy to install and works well for me.

I use vino-server for the server and Reminna for the client.

If you just need one application with a gui at a time, as forwarding over SSH is good too. I use this for software that has a license. Install it on the server then X forward over day to use across multiple machines.

On Android, I use Terminus, but it’s only command line
