What's New in NoMachine 9

NoMachine Network, VPN, Cluster, 2FA and more

NoMachine 9 raises the bar once again presenting you with the most complete remote access solution on the market. Version 9 brings more of everything: usability, reliability, collaboration, scalability and security. So what’s new? Foremost is NoMachine Network, the highly-anticipated service that gives both individual users and businesses the freedom to connect to any computer anywhere in the world, even if you don’t know its IP address or the computer sits behind a NAT or a firewall. On top of that, NoMachine 9 enhances security and privacy thanks to the new features of VPN and two-factor authentication. And that’s not all. For larger infrastructures, the Enterprise Cluster products are more robust than ever thanks to improved load-balancing of user connection requests between the cluster peers. Read on for the details just below and for the complete list of all the features and other implementations provided, check out the software release announcement here.

NoMachine Network is finally here

Connecting over IP is still free, as always, but Network is the new service that lets you reach any computer over the Internet without the need for knowing the IP address or configuring your router. It took a long time because we did it well, we did it to support hundreds of millions of computers, to let any user able to connect to any computer, just like a second Internet without the expense of "fixed IP addresses". What's more, we did it at the most convenient price on the market.

Put any machine on NoMachine Network

Any computer can be on NoMachine Network, regardless of the NoMachine product it runs, including machines running the NoMachine free edition. Once your computer is on Network, any user can connect to it, all they need is the free NoMachine, a NoMachine account and a Network subscription. Only users who can connect to your machine will see it on Network and you can obviously decide which users can connect among the users you know.

Bring any machine and any user with you

Keep a record of the machines and the Network users you know by adding this information to your Users and Machines books in the Network section of the Player. This information is stored on NoMachine Network so it follows you wherever you go. Login to Network from whichever device you’re using and you will find all your contacts and Network machines right there.

New Cloud Server and Terminal Server Cluster

The Cluster editions of Enterprise Cloud Server and Enterprise Terminal Server provide greatly improved load-balancing to guarantee a robust and highly-available single access point to their respective NoMachine desktop and server nodes. Additionally, a new intuitive interface facilitates set-up of the cluster peers upon installation, guiding administrators step-by-step through the pairing procedure.

Integrated VPN out-of-the-box

In version 9 all Enterprise products bring VPN functionality to let you connect securely from anywhere to your corporate settings. You can connect to the VPN with any NoMachine Player, even with the free version. All data traveling between the client and the Internet is encrypted and redirected through the remote NoMachine server, so that you can use your corporate network infrastructure as a single-access-point to the Internet.

Two-factor-authentication everywhere

Two-factor authentication provides additional security to your NoMachine login. All NoMachine products fully support 2FA, including the free edition. You can use 2FA to also protect any incoming connection to the machines of your choice, including Network connections and connections over IP. Download the NoMachine App on your mobile device to get the push notifications and be able to accept or deny any request.

What Can You Do with Network

Get to any computer without knowing any network detail

NoMachine Network was created for users who want to connect to a PC or a Mac wherever it is, even if they don’t know its IP address, the IP address is not accessible or the computer sits behind a NAT or behind a firewall. Network is the way to get secure access to your corporate premises, your friends, the computer of your mom, the computer of your buddies. Network lets any NoMachine-enabled computer be configured for always-on remote access and even for collaboration and co-working, thanks to the powerful functionalities of NoMachine, like "guest users" and the whiteboard.

What Network Subscription Is Best for Me?
