Do you ever remote into this machine? What do you use for that?
RustDesk
Paid, self hosted, etc.?
A free tier is available and you have the option to self-host or not. Host machines can be on Windows, Linux, or macOS (Android is probably also possible, but I haven’t tried.) It is open source.
Thank you. I was wondering which you (and others) typically use.
No problem, I will add that then: I use their servers and the free tier. I only use it on my personal devices and remoting into friends’ computers. My work threw a fit when I had it installed on my work laptop.
I have all of my devices setup to require 2FA for each connection and I have set custom passwords. The default is a 1-time password, like what TeamViewer used to.
