### 🚀 **Set Up xRDP on Linux & Connect via Windows RDP**
🔹 **Tags:** #Windows #Linux #RDP #RemoteDesktopConnection #GUIonLinux #GUI #RemoteAccess
On Linux Server do this settings:-
sudo apt -y update
sudo apt install -y xrdp
sudo apt install -y ufw
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 3389
sudo ufw reload
Now run ifconfig command on linux terminal Check Ip:-
ifconfig
Copy the Ip - 172.x.x.x
Then, Open RDP(Remote Desktop Connection) app on Windows.
Then paste the ip and connect.
To use **RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)** in Kali Linux, follow these steps:
---
## **Step 1: Install xrdp**
Kali Linux does not come with an RDP server by default. You need to install `xrdp`:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xrdp -y
```
---
## **Step 2: Enable and Start xrdp Service**
Once installed, start and enable the xrdp service:
```bash
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl start xrdp
```
To check if it is running:
```bash
sudo systemctl status xrdp
```
If you see "active (running)," it means the service is working.
---
## **Step 3: Add xrdp User to the `ssl-cert` Group**
To avoid permission issues, add the xrdp user to the `ssl-cert` group:
```bash
sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert
```
Then restart the service:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart xrdp
```
---
## **Step 4: Allow RDP Port in Firewall (if enabled)**
If a firewall is active, allow RDP traffic (port 3389):
```bash
sudo ufw allow 3389/tcp
sudo ufw reload
```
---
## **Step 5: Find Kali's IP Address**
Find your Kali machine's IP address using:
```bash
ip a
```
Look for `inet` under your active network interface (e.g., `eth0` or `wlan0`).
---
## **Step 6: Connect from Windows or Another Machine**
1. On **Windows**, open the **Remote Desktop Connection** app (`mstsc`).
2. Enter your **Kali IP address**.
3. Click **Connect**.
4. Enter your Kali **username** and **password**.
5. Select **Xorg** as the session type and click **OK**.
On **Linux**, you can use `rdesktop` or `remmina`:
```bash
rdesktop <Kali_IP>
```
---
### **Troubleshooting**
- If login fails, try restarting `xrdp`:
```bash
sudo systemctl restart xrdp
```
- If you see a blank screen, try:
```bash
echo "xfce4-session" > ~/.xsession
sudo systemctl restart xrdp
```

### **Using Remmina as a Host (Server) and as a Client**
**Remmina** is a remote desktop client for Linux that supports multiple protocols, including **RDP, VNC, SSH, and SFTP**. However, **Remmina itself cannot act as a host (server)**—you need to use **xrdp (for RDP) or x11vnc (for VNC)** to make Kali Linux a remote-accessible machine.
---
## **1️⃣ Using Remmina as a Client (to Connect to Remote Machines)**
Remmina is mainly used as a **remote desktop client** to connect to Windows, Linux, or other servers via **RDP, VNC, or SSH**.
### **🔹 Step 1: Install Remmina**
If Remmina is not installed on Kali Linux, install it using:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp remmina-plugin-vnc -y
```
### **🔹 Step 2: Open Remmina**
Run Remmina from the terminal or applications menu:
```bash
remmina
```
### **🔹 Step 3: Create a New Connection**
1. Click **"+" (New Connection)**.
2. Select a protocol:
- **RDP** (for Windows Remote Desktop)
- **VNC** (for Linux GUI Sharing)
- **SSH** (for remote terminal access)
3. Enter connection details:
- **Server**: IP address or hostname of the remote machine.
- **Username** and **Password**.
- **Resolution** and **Color Depth** (optional).
4. Click **Save and Connect**.
---
## **2️⃣ Using Remmina as a Host (Allowing Others to Connect to Kali)**
Since Remmina is just a client, you need an **RDP or VNC server** to allow connections to Kali Linux.
### **🔹 Option 1: Set Up an RDP Server (xrdp)**
If you want to connect to Kali using **RDP**, install `xrdp`:
```bash
sudo apt install xrdp -y
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl start xrdp
```
Then, use Remmina on another computer to connect using **RDP**.
---
### **🔹 Option 2: Set Up a VNC Server (x11vnc)**
For **VNC remote access**, install **x11vnc**:
```bash
sudo apt install x11vnc -y
x11vnc -storepasswd
```
Start the VNC server:
```bash
x11vnc -forever -display :0
```
Now, use **Remmina on another system** to connect via **VNC**.
---
## **Conclusion**
- **Remmina as a Client** → Connects to RDP, VNC, and SSH servers.
- **Remmina as a Host** → Needs `xrdp` (for RDP) or `x11vnc` (for VNC) to allow incoming connections.

# **Using Remmina with Sound (RDP & VNC)**
Remmina itself does not handle sound forwarding directly, but you can enable **audio redirection** when using **RDP** or **VNC** with additional configurations.
---
## **🔹 1. Using Remmina with Sound over RDP**
By default, **xrdp** does not support sound. You need to install and configure **Pulseaudio modules for xrdp**.
### **✅ Step 1: Install xrdp and Sound Modules**
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xrdp pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-xrdp -y
```
### **✅ Step 2: Enable and Start xrdp**
```bash
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
sudo systemctl start xrdp
```
### **✅ Step 3: Enable Audio Redirection in Remmina**
1. Open **Remmina**.
2. Create or edit your **RDP** connection.
3. Go to the **Advanced** tab.
4. Under **Sound**, select **"Local"** or **"Remote"** (depending on where you want to hear the sound).
5. Save and connect.
### **✅ Step 4: Verify Sound is Working**
Log in to the remote Kali system via Remmina, then check if sound works using:
```bash
pactl list sinks
```
If no sinks are found, restart PulseAudio:
```bash
pulseaudio --start
```
---
## **🔹 2. Using Remmina with Sound over VNC (Alternative)**
VNC does not support direct audio streaming. Instead, you need to use **PulseAudio with RTP streaming**.
### **✅ Step 1: Install PulseAudio and Enable RTP Streaming**
On the **Kali Linux (VNC Server)** machine:
```bash
sudo apt install pulseaudio paprefs pavucontrol -y
```
Then, enable network audio streaming:
1. Open **PulseAudio Preferences (`paprefs`)**.
2. Go to the **Network Server** tab.
3. Enable **"Make local sound devices available as sound servers"**.
4. Enable **"Enable network access to local sound devices"**.
5. Restart PulseAudio:
```bash
pulseaudio --start
```
### **✅ Step 2: Receive Sound on Client Machine**
On the **Remmina Client (your local machine)**:
1. Install PulseAudio and enable RTP reception:
```bash
sudo apt install pulseaudio
pactl load-module module-rtp-recv
```
2. Now, connect using **VNC**, and the sound will be streamed to your client machine.
---
## **🎯 Summary**
|Protocol|Supports Sound?|Configuration Needed|
|---|---|---|
|**RDP**|✅ Yes|Install `pulseaudio-module-xrdp`, enable in Remmina|
|**VNC**|❌ No (Directly)|Use PulseAudio RTP for network streaming|
