Rustdesk use

>

Background:

For a development, remote control is just needed.

I've used Todesk, TeamViwer, Sunflower Remote before

The

connection speed

is friendly to Mac support

software

Todesk

is

very

good

TeamViwer

is slow (the server is abroad, often can't connect)

is not good (Mac remote latency is large)

is not particularly good

Sunflower remote

slow

is

not particularly good

Todesk is the best, and I also used the VIP service for two years (more than 300 a year).

Recently, I found rustdesk on the Internet, and I wanted to try it out to see if I could save 300.

initiate

csharp
docker-compose up -d

After starting, a certificate file will be generated in the current directory

Copy the .pub file

Configure the client

Unlock the network configuration

Fill in your server address and key

# Summary

It's completely free: Of course you can use the Server Pro version, but it feels like the personal version will do the trick.

Fully controllable: your own server, don't worry about privacy being compromised

It's fast and runs smoothly: I tried it out, and the remote response was very fast, with little delay. (It is possible that the server and the client are both in the same local area network.)

Highly recommended
