I tried using RustDesk, but it gave me absolutely no feedback after I entered connection info for my local ID server if it was actually using that or not. I tried enabling debug logging to get a better idea of what was going on, but that wasn't working for me. When I got to the point of trying to figure it out through Wireshark, I realized that was stupid to even have to do and just gave up on RustDesk.



You gave up too early! I host my own server on a 5$ DO droplet. Have >100 clients, RustDesk never failed me once. Works like a charm.


Do you think it's good enough for "business"? I pay too much for screenconnect and absolutely hate it, but it does usually just work.


100%! I was using Teamviewer but got frustrated by their licencing. RustDesk is excellent, works on mobile too. No affiliation just a happy user...
