Yes!

I downloaded neo4j-community-4.2.1-unix.tar.gz.

% tar -xf neo4j-community-4.2.1-unix.tar.gz
% cd neo4j-community-4.2.1
% ./bin/neo4j console

Hi @myrights99

Yes, I connected from Neo4j Desktop not browser like Crome, Safari.

You can access to comment out the listen address in neo4j.conf of neo4j community server.
And restarting neo4j in Server XYZ.

#*****************************************************************
# Network connector configuration
#*****************************************************************

# With default configuration Neo4j only accepts local connections.
# To accept non-local connections, uncomment this line:
#dbms.default_listen_address=0.0.0.0

to

dbms.default_listen_address=0.0.0.0

And You can connect the server by Neo4j Desktop on your laptop.

Add Database > Connect to Remote DBMS

Database Name: Graph Database
Connect URL: bolt://<Server XYZ IP or name>:7687
