In this segment we are going to install “TightVNC Server Remote Tool on Raspberry Pi All Models”
What is TightVNC ?
TightVNC provides a graphical login to remote machines using RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol). TightVNC accepts connections from variety of RDP clients: FreeRDP, rdesktop, NeutrinoRDP and Microsoft Remote Desktop Client (for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android).

- Two-way clipboard transfer (text, bitmap, file)
- Audio redirection

- RDP transport is encrypted using TLS by default.
