This ensures seamless access to remote desktops and applications over the internet. Additionally, NoMachine/NX technology accelerates X-based applications, making them more usable over wide area networks.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues during setup, such as 'Authentication failed, please try again,' ensure that you have generated your OTP token correctly before attempting to log in. For further assistance, refer to the instructions for OTP Token Generation and NX Client Setup provided earlier.
