I think you bring up a fine point. Most applications have encryption built in and transparent to the user. While technical IT people in charge of infrastructure will not make this assumption, it is not unreasonable, at the same time, for small business / individual users, to not understand or know of this limitation. VNC does not, for example, and you need to set up port forwarding through ssh. X2Go does....but I don't trust it terribly. So, RustDesk..what do you need to wrap it in? ssh? I really want a better solution that VNC/X2Go..especially since I use hardware accelerated apps that need to use VGL to operate correctly (but underwhich operation is quite buggy).

You could wrap in a wireguard tunnel.

RustDesk already encrypts connections going via Relay. Encryption is missing in direct IP to IP connections only - but you could set up an SSH tunnel, or a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy though. Another valid alternative is Xpra, and it does support Wayland too - but doesn't reach feature parity with X11. Like RustDesk, Xpra is similarly feature-rich and mature, it too can take advantage of SSH tunnels, SOCKS or HTTPS proxies etc. And then there's TeamViewer and AnyDesk - both of which are paid, with a free tier for evaluating or personal use - RustDesk is younger, but feature-wise they're quite similar. Finally, you could set up wireguard that will happily encrypt your connection with very little overhead - regardless of your chosen remote desktop solution.
