Raspberry Pi has announced the beta release of Raspberry Pi Connect as "a secure and easy-to-use way to access your Raspberry Pi remotely, from anywhere on the planet, using just a web browser."
It is useful to access the desktop of your Raspberry Pi remotely, but doing so can be challenging. VNC and the X protocol are two technologies that can be used. They can be difficult to configure, especially when accessing a computer on a different network.
