Currently I’m looking for a Teamviewer replacement. I think Rustdesk looks very promising.

It would be important that the software runs on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Android) and is accessible via the cloud, because I also want to install it on my parents’ PC, for example, and can’t set up a VPN bridge or similar there.

Do you have an opinion on the subject or a tip for me?

Ruskdesk works perfectly in my expiriece. Any reason that it didn’t fully satisfy you?

DWService is a favourite of mine. One self-contained program to run on the target, and a web-based interface to interact with it

Thanks I’ll have look. Do you have any experience on using the Webinterface on mobile?

Not particularly, most of my use has been on a desktop or laptop 😅

It works, but it is not made for mobile.
Really tricky and scaled for mobile.

I just read that they are sunsetting their own public server so in the future you might need your own server to make use of it. So if that is not something that you want to do that might be a reason to go for RustDesk instead.

It’s better to run your own server anyway, and it’s pretty easy to setup if you have tech experience.

I used to use Teamviewer and then I switched to rustdesk and have never looked back. I use it between a mini pc, a windows pc, a work computer, and android device, and a linux machine with no issues.

Was pretty supprised to find out that you now need to log in to an account to even do a basic TeamViewer session. It legit feels like every time I’m forced to used it to help out old people the UI is getting more bloated
