RustDesk, the popular free open-source remote desktop software, released version 1.4.3 few days ago.<\/p>\n

RustDesk is yet another remote desktop solution written in Rust, which works in Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and web browser. It features peer-to-peer encrypted connection and self-hosting server support.<\/p>\n

Like TeamViewer or AnyDesk, simply install the app in both sides of your devices, then you may input the ID to connect to each other. By default, it uses the public server to initialize the connection, but data is typically sent peer-to-peer after the connection is established. While, user may set its own server for faster and more reliable connections.<\/p>\n

RustDesk supports VP8, VP9, AV1, and hardware accelerated (if your GPU support it) H264\/H265 video codecs, as well as IPv6 p2p connection, UDP hole punching, and more.<\/p>\n

The latest 1.4.3 version added virtual mouse<\/b> along with virtual joystick<\/b> support when accessing remote desktop from mobile devices. It allows user to control mouse movement by touching and dragging a virtual joystick on screen, and scroll up or down through virtual scroll-buttons.<\/p>\n

For Linux Wayland (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04 & higher with default session), it now supports sharing multiple monitor screens<\/strong> (if any). When accessing with remote machine, there’ll be a toggle to switch between the monitors, view all monitor screens in single view, or have multiple RustDesk windows (one monitor screen per window).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to show remote desktop with the original screen size, adaptive to fit app window size, the release added scale custom<\/b> option with a slider bar, allowing to scale the remote desktop screen by percentage value. It’s useful to scale remote screen to fit app window, while keeping the ratio to prevent distortion.<\/span><\/p>\n
