If you are looking for an alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk, you might want to take a look at Rustdesk.
Open source, cross platform and you can even set up your own rendezvous/relay server if you want to make sure you control everything.
There are no restrictions on the software. Use it on as many computers you want, both personal and business.
I have tried it out for a little while as I am the go-to IT person in my (rather large) family. It definitely works for this purpose 
My concern with tools such as this is “Have then been audited and tested for security?”
This issue has come up for me again!
TeamViewer is disconnecting me for exceeding the limit, and yesterday AnyDesk did the same thing. I’m going to try Rustdesk as an alternative.
What other applications do you use for remote access? I want to install a few, just in case.
Teamviewer blocks connections I had the same problem.
I installed https://www.helpwire.app/ two months ago, and it works great. It runs smoothly on both Windows and Mac. It’s exactly what I was looking for, and it’s free.
Very simple installation of RustDesk server in docker on Synology
I know this thread is a little old, but posting here instead of starting a new thread. Tom, I saw your video on YouTube from a few months ago about RustDesk which is why I ended up setting it up on my network.
Just curious how you feel about security with it. It seems better than other options with 2FA ability for each device that you connect to, but there is some concern that this may be developed by China with potential for backdoors. Seems with the code being open source it is easily audited and any backdoors would be found. Could someone gain access even if port forwarding wasn’t enabled on the router?
Curious what your thoughts are about its security. Also, what are your thoughts on this vs Jump Desktop?
Last I checked Singapore, where the some of developers and company are located, is not China. I don’t open any ports, I just use VPN so I am not really concerned.
I know the company is incorporated in Singapore. Some of the posts I’ve read online reference China backing it. I guess there is no way to ever know.
People say dumb things on the internet all the time, it’s open source so they should point to the code that is the problem, not just make claims.
Having the code opensource is a good start and helps with some of the concern but does it get looked at on every update to revalidate that things are still good. In accounting you have auditors sign off on each report… software doesn’t really have this.
Is Meshcentral or something else a viable alternative?
I tried it, it felt really dated, but overall it does more than Rustdesk so it’s not really easy to directly compare.
