I know about rustdesk, and some other selfhosted solutions, but just wonder, what do you use if not screen sharing in discord.

    No rustdesk but recommend RDP for remoting?

    I’m confused on both recommendations.

      Avoid Rustdesk like the plague for security reasons.

      I recommend RDP as a protocol for remote access. It takes a little setup but it can be used. It isn’t fit for all use cases of course so don’t take it to literally.

        Okay 2 things.

        1. I haven’t heard about any security issues with Rustdesk. Can you link to what you’re referring to?
        2. It’s strange to see someone concerned about security recommend RDP for remote access when it’s a terrible idea to expose it to the internet. But maybe you mean to expose a VPN and then connect to RDP via that?

        Edit: I see you have some info on the Rustdesk point elsewhere in the thread. I’ll read up on that part so don’t feel like you have to repeat yourself here.

          You don’t want to expose RDP to the internet. However, it works for a local lan or over Tailscale.
