As someone that's never used TeamViewer, is that a more complete description than simply being a "TeamViewer alternative"? Skimming through the readme, I don't

Skimming through the readme, I don't know what this gains over VNC and RDP solutions. Seems to be the same thing, but a different protocol?
- imiric 4y agoWith VNC and RDP you have to mess with IP addresses, network configuration, quality/bandwidth settings, etc., which is a tall hurdle for general remote tech support. With TV, the other person simply shares a code, and the connection is much more stable.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoyou can use their web version if you are in a pinch and have rusdesk client running at your home/office machine. since you know the password, you can get access quickly... this is like vnc but better. RDP is another beast altogether. i use rustdesk and RDP on a daily basis and they are for different things.
- actuallyalys 4y agoI guess "remote support tool" would be the generic term. VNC and RDP are broader tools for controlling another computer and aren't specifically geared toward situations where someone without much experience wants to give the person supporting them control. (You could build a tool like that on top of them, probably.)
