How can I get remote access **to** Bluefin-DX from Windows 10?

The Bluefin documentation refers to the installed GNOME app [GNOME Connections](https://apps.gnome.org/Connections/) which seems to be only for RDP (and possibly VNC) from Bluefin (RDP client in Bluefin), not for RDP to Bluefin (RDP host in Bluefin).

Windows RDP is on my local Windows 10 desktop, and Bluefin-DX is installed remotely (by another person).

I found a few blogs recommending **xrdp** , for example [https://cloudzy.com/blog/gnome-remote-desktop/](https://cloudzy.com/blog/gnome-remote-desktop/). But Bluefin prefers flatpak apps, so I hesitate trying xrdp. I found no flatpak app for remote access to Bluefin. Since I am a beginner, maybe I missed something obvious?

Using a GUI is the preferred remote experience, not using SSH.

Have you checked out the new remote login feature?

(Note that you might need to [upgrade to the stable tag](https://docs.projectbluefin.io/administration#upgrades-and-throttle-settings) as this is a new GNOME feature so it won’t be in the default Bluefin.

It worked. Persistent remote login is expected to be available in GNOME 47. [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/merge\_requests/249](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/merge_requests/249)
