Definitely not. If it would be 100% open source, but rustdesk is not FOSS.
We investigated rustdesk for critical infrastructure and decided that it cannot be used, because some parts of it are not something you can review.
Comment on Remote Tech Support services?

Brother it is 100% open source. whatever part you failed to review was not something you could not review. You can fully compile it and self-host. It has no binary blobs required for it to function.
I’m sorry whatever ‘team’ you think you’re on is literally incompetent.
Whew! Thought I’d missed something.

oh no, rustdesk does have a lot of 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.
This user’s main account is Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org (probably). You can take a look through their post history to get an idea of why they might make this comment…

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.
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 possibly 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.

I actually can’t find any evidence of this. The company appears to be headquartered in Singapore, CEO’d by an American dude.
