FAQ. RustDesk VPS
Common questions, straight answers.
What is RustDesk?
RustDesk is an open-source remote desktop application, a self-hosted alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk. The client connects through a relay server you run, so your screen-sharing traffic never touches a third-party SaaS. Both the clients and the server are AGPL-licensed and free.
Do I need a server for RustDesk to work?
Technically no. RustDesk's public servers exist as a default. But if you self-host the relay (hbbs) and ID server (hbbr) on a VPS you control, your sessions stop transiting RustDesk's infrastructure. That's the point: privacy, control, and no rate limits.
How much VPS do I need for RustDesk relay?
RustDesk's relay is very lightweight, the 1 GB or 2 GB plan handles dozens of concurrent connections comfortably. Bandwidth (40 Gbps available) matters more than CPU. For a small IT shop with 50 endpoints, the 4 GB plan is plenty of headroom.
Is RustDesk encrypted?
Yes. RustDesk uses end-to-end encryption with NaCl, the relay only forwards encrypted bytes and cannot decrypt session contents. Even with a self-hosted relay, your screen, keystrokes, and files stay readable only to the two endpoints.
Can I install RustDesk relay myself?
Yes. Install RustDesk Server OSS using Docker or Linux binaries:
hbbs provides the ID service and hbbr provides the relay. Configure the required firewall ports and your clients’ server address and public key. Alternatively, deploy Cloudzy’s preinstalled RustDesk image. Will I need a domain or just an IP?
An IP works. The dedicated IPv4 included on every Cloudzy VPS is enough. A domain helps if your IP changes, but Cloudzy IPs are sticky to the instance, so most users just hand out the IP and a public key to their devices.
How does RustDesk compare to TeamViewer or AnyDesk?
Same workflow, install client, get an ID, connect from anywhere. Difference: TeamViewer and AnyDesk charge per seat and route through their cloud. RustDesk Community is free and routes through your VPS. For privacy-sensitive environments, that's a big deal.
Can I support multiple operating systems?
Yes. RustDesk has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and a web client. All connect to the same self-hosted relay. One VPS handles your whole fleet of mixed OS endpoints.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund on the VPS. Apply from the panel or email [email protected].
