Basic Information
Name: RustDesk
Category: Productivity Tools
URL: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
Description
An open-source remote desktop software, written in Rust. Works out of the box, no network configuration required. Supports Windows, Linux, MacOS and Android. Just share an ID and password with another RustDesk user to start a session. The connection is end-to-end encrypted from the agents to the clients, so that data is never decrypted by the relay server.
Note that the agents and clients (same software) are fully open-source, and a minimal example of the relay server is too, although it lacks the optimization of the commercial server they sell. Hence, it can be self-hosted, but a public instance is also available.
Why I am making the suggestion
Same reasons as #2312. Compared to #2312 and #2313 , RustDesk is easier to use and requires no registration, only the sharing of an ID and password (just like TeamViewer). It also offers good streaming performances, although slightly slower than Remotely.
My connection with the software
None, just a user.
Update: the software uses NaCL to encrypt end-to-end the connection between the agents and clients. The hashing functions used:

PS: If you want to discuss with the dev, please keep in mind they seem to not be a native english speaker, so that's likely why they prefer to link to the source code or directly cite code :-)
