Exploring RustDesk - an Open Source Alternative to TeamViewer, AnyDesk and LogMeIn

Supporting friends and family can be a pain, however with remote support we can easily diagnose and fix most issues that your loved ones will run across! It wouldn't be right to send them a bill, so obviously you'll want to spend as little as possible to provide this service! RustDesk open source will easily allow you to support them without causing damage to your wallet! Let's see if this amazing software can suite your needs!

Some of the things it can do:

⌚ On demand and unattended remote support
⌚ Self hosted - Set up your own RustDesk server
⌚ Transfer files
⌚ Chat
⌚ Request elevated permissions

This video will cover the open source version, however if you need it commercially, they do provide a much more robust server with a web UI.

now one more thing need to ask is there any limitation on connection in case we self hosted on our server also how many parallel connection we can take at a time. You know better support guys need to handle so many client. Another issue found is people often format system so his old and new both connection are there in my system so does it count in limitation as all are nos so its difficult to search which one needs to delete.

do we need to change server on client machine does it mandatory to connect it to our server ? I mean client may have other people who needs to connect using RustDesk we can't tell them to change server for each vendor. Can we connect to client without changing server address using our server

Does the self-hosted version allow web browser remote control?
