- You are in the same network for both, your Raspberry Pi and your remote computer
- You know your IP address of your Raspberry
- You use a Mac to Access your Raspberry
How to Remote Access Raspberry by VNC

Additional Information
The official website of RealVNC consists of a lot of additional information, including how you can use it for your professional business. I prefer to manage my Raspberry Pi via SSH, but certainly, if you rely on graphical interfaces, then the VNC Viewer is a great option. To access you raspberry in a secure manner by SSH you maybe like to check out my Hardening of OpenHAB Guide which explains next to others how to securely leverage on SSH. Of course, this is foreseen for the OpenHAB openhabian OS, but it most likely works on any Debian or Debian based Linux.
