Whew! Thought I'd missed something.
oh no, rustdesk does have some significant problems. I could give you a nice list. It's just that nobody cares, they don't matter, and we don't have a good alternative.

Sure, I get that. I was just wondering about the Chinese connection bit.
Oh...I already did. LOL
IIRC, somebody tried to trace the company back to its owners, but the chain ended with a company that is likely Chinese. One of the earliest company-hosted relay servers was also located in China based on its IP address. The company now runs multiple servers on various continents.
Some people also freaked out when the company started offering paid, binary server images and services that added extra features like a management console, assuming (incorrectly) that they would replace the basic, no-cost, open-source images.
I actually can't find any evidence of this. The company appears to be headquartered in Singapore, CEO'd by an American dude.
That is definitely not my main, I have zero racial issues on the subject, I would say exactly the same if the team would be Russian. There is probably Chinese government relations to RustDesk, so if you use it, you should consider that.
