1. Creating an account
The first step to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely is to create an account. Creating an account is very easy, as it only requires an email and a password.
Important: For remote access, you should always choose a strong and secure password. This means it should be sufficiently long, combine lower and upper case letters, and contain numbers and symbols.
2. Activating SSH and VNC on Raspberry Pi
Once an account is available for registration, it is necessary to activate VNC or SSH. Which of the two technologies can be used depends on individual preferences. Usually, however, both connection methods can be enabled or disabled via the configuration.
After activation, the VNC icon should be accessible via the menu bar. For a high level of security, it is also advisable to change the password. This makes the passwords for the account and the computer different, which in turn increases the Raspberry Pi security.
3. Update and installation
Before starting to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely, an internet connection must be available. It can be done either via an Ethernet cable or conveniently via WIFI.
The update ensures that the latest relevant system updates are installed. This is important because many updates are aimed at strengthening the security of the systems. Finally, it is necessary to install the downloaded updates.
4. Registration of the Raspberry Pi
To start a remote connection to the Raspberry Pi from a Mac, the Raspberry Pi must first be registered. Registration is usually done by searching for new devices. Software solutions such as TeamViewer will display the IP address and gateway details of a new device. This makes it possible to select and add the appropriate Raspberry Pi device.
5. Connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely
To connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely, there are different possibilities: Connecting to the Raspberry Pi remotely via the Internet is just one of them. Equally popular is the use of apps, which brings different configuration options..
