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

    What is your issue with Rustdesk? I would understand if you mention Teamviewer, which runs through 3rd party servers, but Rustdesk? Is the client phoning home despite self-hosting or what do you mean? I am seriously interested.

    On the other hand, I would not use RDP over the Internet without a VPN or at least an RDP Gateway in between both parties.

      There has been a few controversies so here is the TLDR:

      • Rustdesk public relays have been caught using Chinese servers

      • The Rustdesk app is highly privileged for little reason. They abused this privilege to switch Wayland users to X silently

      • very little is known about the Rustdesk “team” if there even is one. There is a single github user called “rustdesk” and the personalities on the Rustdesk website appear to be fake.

      • Rustdesk says they are from Singapore but there are multiple leads that point to them being Chinese

      • They straight up delete any issue or discussion that questions the supposed Rustdesk “team”

      That’s just the summary that I know. You can find more information by looking up Rustdesk controversy or is Rustdesk a scam.
