Actually, yes, that's exactly what RustDesk does. Run the exe, get an ID and password, bypass all NATs, just like TeamViewer.
After TeamViewer decided I was a commercial user for some unknown reason and started blocking my sessions, I've used it with less technical friends and family several times without any significant issues.
To compete in this space is its main purpose and I'd say it does a pretty good job.
- ComodoHacker 4y agoWell, the space is remote support and assistance, not "using it several times with family and friends", we already have a bunch of tools for that. Besides good UX, you need at least a Microsoft signed driver for efficient capture. You need extensive testing on a wide (and wild) variety of legacy hardware and OSes. Maybe RustDesk does a good job, I didn't try it, but it's absolutely not an alternative to TeamViewer.
- Technetium 4y agoYou shouldn't need a M$ signed driver for capture, what makes you say that? I don't think it does a great job in the position it's in now, but it's hard to say it's not at least covering most of the big points that TeamViewer does, which qualifies it as an alternative.
