Important Notice

In NoMachine version 8, UPnP/NAT-PMP is disabled by default in the Free Edition. To get access to your computer over the internet, NoMachine's UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping must be enabled by hand ('Server settings -> Ports' -> Select the service and click on Configure); or alternatively, your router can be configured with the appropriate port-forwarding rule. When port-mapping/port-forwarding is enabled, remote NoMachine connections, including connection requests from guests via the new Guest Desktop Sharing feature will be possible.
