Installing and Configure RPort for Remote Monitoring and Access

These shownotes have been removed as RPort is no longer Open Source.

Sadly - RPort was purchased in 2023 by RealVNC. RealVNC reportely (not confirmed by me) said they would keep RPort Open Source when they were purchasing the company / solution, but apparently went back on that promise pretty quickly afterward.

Updated instructions to setup the forked version of RPort, OpenRPort, can be found here

While I cannot verify the statements, this is an excerpt from an article about the RealVNC purchase of RPort in 2022. 

"RPort is currently open source, and RealVNC is committing to continue to pursue an open-core approach. RealVNC will offer more advanced features as paid “plugins” added to the foundational RPort engine, which will remain open source. Current RPort users can expect updates to the open source core along with options to extend it into a commercial product, all with the level of professional technical support that RealVNC has become known for."
