Get to Any Machine on the Network

Connect to any computer without knowing any network detail

NoMachine Network gives you the freedom to connect to any NoMachine computer anywhere in the world, even if you don’t know its IP address or the computer sits behind a NAT or a firewall. The first thing you will likely do is add your computer to NoMachine Network, so that you can reach it and allow others to do the same. You don't even need a NoMachine account to do so. Publishing a machine and letting people connect is free for everybody and you can publish as many machines as you want, there is no limitation. If you then want to connect to your computer or any computer that is on NoMachine Network, you will need to create a NoMachine account and get a Network subscription. Subscriptions are as cheap as $8.50 per month for one connection at any given time. Enjoy the freedom to connect to any desktop, work on projects, access files and applications, wherever you are, wherever those resources are and whenever you want.

Get a Machine Id

By adding your computer to NoMachine Network, your computer is assigned a unique Machine Id that identifies your computer wherever it is, making it possible for others to connect wherever you are. Adding your machine to Network is free, no need to know the IP address and no need to set up any firewall rule to traverse your home or corporate network.

Is a Machine Id secure?

As we said, any machine added to Network is added using a Machine Id, but computers are not identifiable with personal names or physical IP addresses. To connect to a computer, what you need is its exact Machine Id. If you're missing it or if nobody told you what the Machine Id is, getting access to that computer will be impossible.

Use an Access Id for extra security

Together with the Machine Id, a Network computer can also have an Access Id. The Access Id is used to protect the target machine so that only users to whom you gave the Access Id can connect. You can also omit the Access Id, since to login, as with all the remote access systems, the user will still have to insert valid system credentials.

Add unlimited computers to Network

There are no limits on how many computers you can make available and there is nothing required to be able to add them. Publishing a personal or corporate machine is free and easy to do: install NoMachine, go to Network settings in the NoMachine Player, click 'Add' and that’s it, the computer is ready to use.

Add any Network computer to your Machines

Network machines can be added to your Machines panel using their Machine Id, in the same way as you add any computer using its IP address. Once you have added the machine to your roster, you will be able to see if the machine is online or not. If you see it online, you can connect. To see it, the user must have made the machine available to you when the machine was put on Network.

Get a NoMachine account

To be able to see the Network machines and connect, you must be logged in as a NoMachine user. The first step is to create a NoMachine account. You use your e-mail address, which becomes your User Id. Once you have your NoMachine account, just login using it in the Player. It costs nothing and follows you across all the devices you connect from.

Get a Network Subscription to connect

Connecting to a machine added to Network requires a Network Subscription. Whether you are an individual working from home, a professional needing to assist multiple customers, or an IT manager needing to access your entire fleet of machines, just choose the number of connections you need.

Connect to and from unlimited devices

Connect from unlimited devices and reach unlimited remote computers. You don’t have to "register" which machines you're connecting to nor which devices you are connecting from. If you need to connect from a new device, just install NoMachine and login. And you can reach any computer using its Machine Id.

No fuss connections-based model

The NoMachine Network licensing model is as easy as it comes. The most simple model available on the market. Network Subscriptions are based on the number of concurrent Network connections you run. The more concurrent connections you run, the more connections you need in your subscription.

Add a further layer of protection with 2FA

NoMachine’s two-factor authentication is an additional defense against unwanted access. Create your account, download the NoMachine app for your mobile device, receive the push notifications. 2FA can be requested to protect your NoMachine logins as well as to approve incoming connections, including connections over IP.

Organize your Network users and machines

Check the Users and Machines books in the Network settings, save there the machines and the users you know. Have a machine you use often? Save it in your Machines book. Right click on that machine and connect. Got a user connecting to your machine? Save the contact in your Users book, so the next time you know who is connecting. They are on Network, they follow you when you login to NoMachine.

What Network Subscription Is Best for Me?

Get to your computers from anywhere

NoMachine Network Subscriptions are available to all NoMachine users that want a secure and simple way to reach their NoMachine-enabled PC anywhere over the Internet. Subscriptions can be monthly or annual and enable access to any NoMachine computer, including computers located behind a firewall or inside a private network. You can also add Network Subscriptions to your existing NoMachine Enterprise installations to get easy access into your corporate's facilities. It couldn't be simpler than that.

NoMachine Is for Everybody

Free for personal use

NoMachine is freely available for everyone to download and install on any computer you need to remotely access. Use it to access all your files, display all your videos, play all your audio, edit your documents, as well as remotely assist and collaborate with friends or family. You can reach any NoMachine-enabled computer by using its IP address. The free version comes packed with features out-of-the-box, as rich as they come, but for those who want even more functionality or need access to technical assistance, take a look at NoMachine Enterprise Desktop.
