RustDesk lets you connect to another computer by ID and password, control it, transfer files and support a colleague remotely. An engineer can reach the office workstation with its design software from site or home, or help a team member set up a program. Its special feature is that you can run your own relay server in Docker, so traffic does not pass through third-party servers. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile devices. Limitation: central management and business features are in the paid Pro server, and it is important to keep it updated.
Ratings & Reviews
| Licence type | Completely Free, Open Source |
|---|---|
| Licence terms | Open source under AGPL-3.0: the client and the open-source server are free for any use, including commercial. RustDesk Server Pro, with central management and business features, is a paid product. Download only from the official site rustdesk.com; past updates fixed several serious security flaws, so always install the latest version. Security: never install a remote-control tool or give an access code to someone who contacted you by phone, message or pop-up. Set a strong password and two-factor authentication, and turn off unattended access when you do not need it. |
