Access Pi 3 w/ RealVNC or other

[xCeltix]

Hi,

I want to connect my laptop to my Raspberry Pi 3 with RealVNC to work on it using my laptop.

I know you can connect to the Raspberry Pi 3 with RealVNC over the internet, but since I don't have unlimited internet access I was wonderring if it could be accessed otherwise.

I read on a site it was maybe possible to connect to the Raspberry Pi 3 locally, but I don't find any sollution...

Are there maybe other ways to do this?

Thanks in advance !

Do you know your local RPI IP? When you find the IP then use the ip in the VNC Server box.
And other way is to use raspberrypi.local (if you have not changed its name). You must be on the same network.

I do it all the time with my Verizon Hotspot- both pis must be connected to the same Hotspot - and it doesn't seem to use hardly any (or no) data because they are connected locally. Pretty sure you have to jump through extra hoops if you want to go through the Internet and consume data.

Just get it to search for it and it'll connect through your normal WiFi or pop the IP of the Pi into it
