Login required for public server

RustDesk edited this page Apr 15, 2026 · 14 revisions

To help prevent scamming and potential botnet attacks, this public server currently requires users to log in before connecting.

Caution

At present, only controllers are required to log in (it is free).

If botnet abuse continues, controlled devices may also be required to log in. In that case, both the controller and the controlled device must be logged in under the same user account.

Or we can find a better solution for the controlled side without requiring explicit login. e.g.

  • command line, --assign
  • invitation link for one time support
