Rustdesk started as an open-source alternative to TeamViewer. Now, it offers more than just remote desktop access, making it handy for casual self-hosting.
With no need for (dyn)DNS, port forwarding, or a VPN, you can get:
- Remote terminal
- File transfer
- Tunneling (similar to SSH port forwarding)
- Remote desktop
I think it’s a solid choice if you have a simple one-server setup.



It can also stream 4K@60fps without quality loss or latency no problem
its definetly not lossless, but it works quite efficiently
It looks way better than TeamViewer or AnyDesk, just like it would be local (similar to how RemoteDektop looks). Of course it can begin to stutter when watching videos ect but everything else is fine.
