The latest release of Raspberry Pi OS includes an all-new, native panel plugin for Raspberry Pi Connect, our secure remote access solution that allows you to connect to your Raspberry Pi desktop and command line directly from your web browser.

Since the launch of our public beta with screen sharing back in May, and the addition of remote shell access and support for older Raspberry Pi devices in June, we’ve been working on improving support and performance on as many Raspberry Pi devices as possible — from Raspberry Pi Zero to Raspberry Pi 5 — both when using Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and our Lite version.

Remotely access your Raspberry Pi from anywhere on the planet using just a web browser?

Remotely access your Raspberry Pi from anywhere on the planet using just a web browser?

By default, Raspberry Pi Connect will be installed but disabled, only becoming active for your current user if you choose ‘Turn On Raspberry Pi Connect’ from the menu bar, or by running from the terminal.rpi-connect on

If this is your first time trying the service, using the menu bar will open your browser to sign up for a free Raspberry Pi Connect account; alternatively, you can run from the terminal to print a unique URL that you can open on any device you like. Once signed up and signed in, you can then connect to your device either via screen sharing (if you’re using Raspberry Pi desktop) or via remote shell from your web browser on any computer.rpi-connect signin

You can now stop and disable the service for your current user by choosing ‘Turn Off Raspberry Pi Connect’ or running from the terminal.rpi-connect off

With the latest release of 2.1.0 (available via software update), we now include a new command that runs a series of connectivity tests to check the service can establish connections properly. We make every effort to ensure you can connect to your device without having to make any networking changes or open ports in your firewall — but if you’re having issues, run the command like so:rpi-connect doctor

$ rpi-connect doctor
