Hi, can you tell us what you find odd and difficult to use? Maybe we get what you mean; in the NoMachine UI there are a lot of settings you can select: the protocol, different IP addresses, encodings and so on. These are some of the advanced options that almost no users probably care about.

But the fact is that, since its inception, NoMachine was intended as an "advanced communication and remote desktop tool", more a "professional tool", not intended for the "wide public", especially because you had to "know" and be able to configure things like "an IP address", which is more in the "professional space".

To make NoMachine apt for widespread adoption, we need NoMachine Network, the infrastructure that will allow people to connect by just knowing a "machine id", the same TeamViewer does, and we are working on it. Expect this very soon.

But that said...

We would love to know form you where we can improve the NoMachine UI, to make it more usable, more friendly less "confusing" (if it is) and less intimidating. If you like, you can obviously also contact us directly. Do as you like, but we would love to hear from you.

I'll reach out to you directly, perhaps I can participate in the nomachine Network beta and provide feedback that way. Thanks for the reply!

Edit: contacted you with ticket# WU07T00092
