FAQs
Is RustDesk really open source?
Yes. The client code is public on GitHub under an open source licence, and the free server software is open source as well, which suits privacy minded users.
Do I have to host my own server?
No. You can start with the public servers the project provides. Hosting your own is an option for people who want traffic to stay on their own network.
Why does macOS ask for extra permissions?
Remote viewing and control need Screen Recording, Accessibility and Input Monitoring access on the Mac being controlled. Without them you may see a black screen or no mouse control.
