I realize this isn’t a huge topic, but:
Ever since I was bestowed upon with a Raspberry Pi 3 that my dad was no longer using to run - at that point a slideshow and audio system - I’ve been using RealVNC since it was built in and that was easy enough to just use. Eventually that morphed into using their Home license, since I have several kids and being able to just drop into their computers and fix whatever issues they’re having with the computer or game, plus I also was using it on one of mine as a local-network workstation, to be able to do server management stuff while not exposing anything to the internet. I’d also used it in a couple of specific network situations to get around some extremely aggressive firewall restrictions.
I do realize they weren’t the “recommended” option for the most part, but I was already using it, most of the restrictions weren’t a big issue for me, so I didn’t feel like changing over. Turns out they’re removing that free Home tier and replacing it with an even more cut-down Lite that definitely won’t work for me.
So we’ve finally swerved! I had briefly looked into RustDesk just for latency reasons, but I was under the impression from what I’d looked into that I would have to do a whole server setup to use it, so I decided to bite the bullet.
Turns out it was actually easier than expected, because it seems to run P2P just fine, and since I already have Tailscale that handles the access from the internet just fine. At this point I don’t even know if doing the Server setup would eve be helpful.
Does anyone else have similar sort of experience, or feedback?
