How to remotely access a Raspberry Pi?
There are many different solutions for remote access to Raspberry Pi. The most common is to use one of two techniques: SSH and VNC. SSH and VNC involve opening a port on Raspberry Pi (VNC uses port 5900+N and SSH uses port 22). This potentially exposes your Raspberry Pi.

OpenELEC is tiny, at 85-115MB, and for RaspberryPi it comes in at only 70MB, which comprises the whole OS including XBMC, Python, and all services/tools needed to run XBMC. This means that at the moment, it’s the smallest distro for Raspberry Pi that we’ve seen.
What is the difference between XBMC and OpenElec?
The main difference between xbmc and openELEC is that openELEC have got rid of all the bloat and do different versions optimized for different processors and chip-sets. and although xbmc is available on a live cd, its no ay as good as the openELEC build running off a memory stick ! I am really looking forward to this release, its likely to be the Raspberry Pi’s Killer App…

What port does Raspberry Pi use?
As well as the remote.it connection, it will show vncserver running on port 5900. The solution to this is to use a script, provided by remote.it, that cloaks this port. With the cloaking script active, people cannot scan your Raspberry Pi to find the open port because the port will not respond to incoming traffic. Meanwhile, remote.it can get through because remote.it software establishes the connection.
How to create a P2P connection?

Use SSH on a Raspberry Pi with PC
You don’t need to install any software to start using SSH. Linux, mac OS and Windows (Windows 10) have a SSH command-line application installed by default. Note: On older Windows you will need to download an SSH client, the most commonly used one is called Putty but in this tutorial we are going to install MobaXterm on our windows machine.
Activating SSH on the RPI
For security reasons the SSH acces in disabled by default in the Raspberry Pi OS. To enable SSH on your Raspberry Pi, chose Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration. You will start a program as in the picture below. Chose the interface tab and enable SSH. Press OK and reboot your system
Activate SSH client on Windows
Linux and macOS both support SSH out-of-the-box; skip ahead if you are using one of those operating systems. Thought windows 10 supports SSH you’ll need to activate it. This is the reason why I use MobaXterm, it’s a free program that creates a local terminal like the one on Linux. You can download its here.
Get Your IP address
Note: if you use a headless version (a setup without a screen) see at the end of this section on how to get you’r pi’s ip.
Connect via SSH
On a windows PC open command prompt or MobaXterm. On a Linux or MacOS machine open a Terminal windows. To connect over ssh enter following command:
Use MobaXterm on a Windows PC
Why MobaXterm and not Putty? MobaXterm is more graphical and when you lose connection it’s easier to reconnect then when using putty.
