Have you tried RustDesk?
Can you share your experience with it? Is it better than NoMachine?
Since RustDesk is opensource I'd really appreciate If you can share your opinion on using it.

My friend used it to program on his linux laptop from his windows desktop, he did it directly in house so there wasn't an outside connection. He had some buggy screen issues but it worked perfectly for him.
it work perfectly. i remove teamviewer and mainly use rustdesk. so far no issue.
I personally haven’t tried the rustdesk, so thank you for mentioning as will do some tests shortly.
Co-incidentally tried RustDesk just yesterday on a IPv6 only VPS. Didn't work. Apparently it doesn't support IPv6 at the moment and there is already an open GitHub issue about this.
Yes. I use RustDesk on some computers. But I have a radio hobby and I switched to a paid version of NoMachine on that particular computer with the radio software. I noticed RustDesk sometimes causes high CPU usage and audio stutters. I didn’t have that problem with NoMachine.
This looks pretty nice!
Question for the ones that have used it - does the server eat up a lot of bandwidth?
Lets say one is to install it on aws, and does ~20 remotes/day - will that end up using TBs of bandwidth on the aws server, or is that mostly offloaded on the devices that are connected, and server is just used as sort of a coordinator, and just using a MB or two to just connect the two devices, and then its just a direct communication between the two devices?
I started evaluating different remote control desktop solutions in another thread. I had to put it on hold for the moment, but will pick it up again when I am ready, hopefully in a few weeks. I wrote about it in this thread:

I'll be happy to use RustDesk when they decide to let us host our own servers and finally release that code.

Last time I looked at RustDesk, they FORCED you to use their server and would not provide their server source code. This is great to see that this has changed, and here is their server source code

Oh, I use nomachine to remote coding from a bit old Windows laptop and I can't play netflix if nomachine clients is opened (too hungry process).
