Unlike proprietary services like TeamViewer or AnyDesk, RustDesk supports self-hosting, allowing you to maintain complete ownership of your data and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>This tool lets you view and control a remote computer, share files through an integrated file manager, and sync clipboards between devices. Connections are encrypted end-to-end using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/learning\/ssl\/transport-layer-security-tls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the TLS 1.3 standard<\/a>, ensuring secure communication without relying on proprietary encryption schemes.<\/p>\n<p>RustDesk works over the internet or <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/setup-vpn-connection-windows-11\/\">VPN (Virtual Private Network)<\/a>, and if you host your own server, you can bypass the service&#8217;s public infrastructure entirely. Even when using public RustDesk relay servers, your session data remains inaccessible to third parties.<\/p>\n<p>Built in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rust-lang.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rust<\/a> (a programming language known for speed, memory safety, and concurrency), RustDesk delivers high performance with minimal latency. It includes a custom video codec for efficient, low-lag remote desktop experiences.<\/p>\n<p>By default, RustDesk clients connect through public servers, requiring no setup. However, advanced users can switch to a self-hosted configuration for more control and privacy, but it requires additional configuration.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll outline the steps to set up RustDesk on Windows 11 to connect remotely to other computers in the network.

However, you can use the uninstall shortcut from <code>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\RustDeskServer<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>The role of the server is to act as a middleman to establish remote desktop connections and improve the remote access performance. It&#8217;s not involved in the actual rendering of the remote screen or the processing of your input. Actually, that&#8217;s the client&#8217;s role. Instead, its primary function is to act as a signaling and relay infrastructure that allows two clients to find and connect to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the server responsibilities include the creation and tracking of device identifiers and the IP address tracking of each computer.<\/p>\n<p>Also, since you&#8217;re using the free self-hosted version, you don&#8217;t get access to the web interface that offers a set of tools to manage your clients. However, for a small number of computers or personal use, the free version is all you need.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, if you plan to set up the self-hosted version of this remote desktop solution, I recommend setting the server up on a computer other than the device you&#8217;re setting up the client to avoid possible connectivity issues. I had a few initial issues, but after restarting the server, connections from the local RustDesk server began to work normally.<\/p>\n<p>Also, even though you can install the server directly into the operating system, <a href=\"https:\/\/rustdesk.com\/docs\/en\/self-host\/rustdesk-server-oss\/docker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RustDesk usually recommends using Docker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"config_rustdesk_client_windows11\">Configure the RustDesk client on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>Once you install the application, you can start remoting in from another device immediately.

If a direct connection isn&#8217;t possible due to NAT traversal or firewall restrictions, the session is relayed through the relay server (<code>hbbr<\/code>).<\/p>\n<p>You can connect over the internet using RustDesk, but this requires proper server and network configuration. Specifically, you&#8217;ll need to open firewall ports for both hbbs and hbbr.<\/p>\n<p>The default core ports for this are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>TCP:<\/strong> 21115 (ID server), 21116 (relay server), 21117<\/li>\n<li><strong>UDP:<\/strong> 21116 (used for relay communication)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Web client (optional):<\/strong> TCP 21118 and 21119<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you prefer convenience, you can use RustDesk&#8217;s public servers, which don&#8217;t require server installation or port configuration. However, if you deploy a self-hosted server, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/open-firewall-port-windows-11\/\">configure your firewall<\/a> to allow external devices to connect via the internet.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if you don&#8217;t install the server, the devices will connect with the public servers, and you won&#8217;t have to configure the firewall to connect from the internet.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"remote_desktop_rustdesk\">Connect remotely to another PC using RustDesk on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>To establish a remote desktop connection using RustDesk, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Start<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Search for <strong>RustDesk<\/strong>, and click the top result to launch the app.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Confirm the name you assigned to the computer in the &#8220;Control Remote Desktop&#8221; setting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Connect<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179637\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/rustdesk-stablish-remote-connection.webp?resize=827%2C522&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"RustDesk establish remote connection\" width=\"827\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/rustdesk-stablish-remote-connection.webp?w=839&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 839w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/rustdesk-stablish-remote-connection.webp?resize=300%2C190&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/rustdesk-stablish-remote-connection.webp?resize=150%2C95&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Confirm the password and click the <strong>OK<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re connected, you can start controlling the computer remotely.<\/p>\n<p>You can open the toolbar with the &#8220;down&#8221; arrow, where you&#8217;ll find different options to interact with the connection.
