With it, users can access Ubuntu remotely either in or out of local network via a VNC client.<\/p>\n<h3>Enable Vino VNC in Ubuntu:<\/h3>\n<p>1. Firstly, click on &#8216;Activities&#8217; in top bar, search for and open terminal from system app launcher. When it opens, run commands:<\/p>\n<p>Make sure Vino is installed by running command:<\/p>\n<pre>sudo apt install vino<\/pre>\n<p>To allow computer outside of local network to access, enable upnp is your router support it:<\/p>\n<pre>gsettings set org.gnome.Vino use-upnp true<\/pre>\n<p>Vino requires encryption by default. However, VNC clients from Windows computer does not support the encryption type.
