r/rustdesk

I just got my home server pc all set up, i've got various dockers, cloudflare tunnel, lots of stuff I DO NOT wanna redo. (UBUNTU 26 😭) I've selfhosted rustdesk server with docker-compose on said pc and have also installed the rustdesk client. But it's all for naught if i can't remote connect to the pc without first locally answering the "select screen to share" prompt; defeating the purpose of remote access.

i thought installing latest version of ubuntu made sense but fuck this no x11 support has turned out to be a serious caveat.

In the RustDesk client on the left it says "Wayland support in experimental stage, please use X11 if you require unattended access." bro like i'd really prefer not to have to downgrade my ubuntu. Has anyone read or heard anything indicating when they will get unattended access on wayland

Got Rustdesk running on my home server (which is always connected to a VPN) and my home PC. They are on the same network. First connection was great, put in the temporary password and had a very fast connection with no issues (didn't have enable direct ip access turned on). Then I decided the software was good so disconnected and setup a perm password and went to reconnect and got a message blocking me about botnet activity or something and I have to login. So I logged in on both devices and now the connection is unusably slow. I trtied setting up direct ip access but I will have to get into the VPN and router settings to get this to work which is a pain in this setup. My question is, is there any way to get back to whatever was working before the login? Like, I just installed them and connected and it was perfect, but I don't know what servers that was using or if it was direct connecting over the network even though I didnt have that option turned on.

So obviously everything works flawlessly on LAN, so far all good. Now I'm interested in connecting from elsewhere over the internet. Do I need to pay for the server? I've been through the pricing structure and I'm confused as people are saying they can connect for free?

Is this the official subreddit for RustDesk? Can I provide product feedback here?

Self hosted Rustdesk, I have zero issues connecting to my devices inside, everything works fine.

My elderly father has been having issues, so I installed Rustdesk on his computer as well as a 2nd computer there so I could get in.

The computer shows up fine in my Rustdesk window, green dot with my no-ip dyndns name set up in the ID and the relay with the appropriate key.

but as soon as I try to connect, I get connecting and then Disconnected by peer.

I know it worked, because my laptop in his house on his wifi, I was able to connect and control both devices, but as soon as I got home, nothing.

Not sure whats wrong here, I've never had an issue, before, port forwarding is set in my router here at home. He just got Xfinity, is there a chance Xfinity is blocking it?

Hey

I see the "Enable direct IP access" tick-box in the settings, but can i make sure that Rustdesk only works within my local LAN/wifi? (does it even matter?)

I am remotely accessing my Ubuntu (KDE DE) machine from a win11 machine using Rustdesk (not self hosted). For some reason, when I'm accessing the Ubuntu machine with Rustdesk and I try to restart, the system starts to act like it is restarting (some apps from the system tray disappear) but then the system stops responding. I can still see the KDE desktop but the mouse wont work, the keyboard doesn't work, etc. Even going to the machine and using the local KB/mouse doesn't work. I have to remove power to get it to start back up. I have the security permissions on the ubuntu rustdesk app set to allow full control remotely. I tried searching but I just cant seem to find the right search terms as all I get are results about people trying to use rustdesk AFTER a reboot/restart.

I do not have these issues using anydesk or chrome remote desktop. Any suggestions on how to figure out the issue?
