This has 30 million downloads and you're still using TeamViewer
RustDesk is the open source alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk with over 30 million downloads and 110K+ GitHub stars — yet most IT professionals have never heard of it. In this video I show you how to install and configure your own RustDesk server on a VPS in minutes, with cross-platform remote access (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS), simultaneous multi-session control, file transfer, remote terminal, and zero monthly fees. Fully self-hosted, on your infrastructure, with no data passing through third-party servers.
Run your RustDesk server on a Hostinger VPS — the same infra where I run Coolify, n8n, and Chatwoot: https://www.hostg.xyz/SHJQP
