XRDP Setup on Kali (Marketplace image)
Hi, today I deployed a kali linux linode using the marketplace image.
After the installation, I managed to install the vnc server to connect using a graphical GUI but the vnc connection its actually much slower than direct connection so I'm trying to setup the RDP.
I installed xrdp and succesfully started the server but somehow the rdp service is not working. Whenever I try to connect the machine isn't reacheable.
I used the commands below
sudo service xrdp start
sudo service xrdp-sesman start
sudo update-rc.d xrdp enable
and checked server stauts with:
sudo service xrdp status
everything looks fine
Any idea on possible causes or fix?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I've used VNC server on multiple Kali and Ubuntu Linodes and I didn't experience any slowness in the connection. There could be an issue with your home internet and is worth looking into. I followed this Community Site post below and which installs xfce4 to use with TightVNC. Maybe you could try that to see if that makes any difference.
