Hi all, I’m looking for a recommendation for a RD software that is privacy oriented.

I’ve heard about RustDesk and it seems pretty good (open source software, encrypted direct connection, cross-platform, can be self-hosted) but the “free” servers are closed source and I’ve read they connect to China so thats a hard pass.

Any good alternative? I don’t need crazy features, just a simple RDP.
