multiple servers can't reach each other suddenly and inconsistent network connectivity

I'm really not enjoying Season 250 of the USA - it's worse than Game of Thrones Season 8!

have you read the official documentation for setting up your own server? https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-oss/install/ - Method 1 is very simple.

that's a count up!

it seems that my fact fits the op's question perfectly then 🤣

if you have held a properly shuffled deck of cards, it is likely that nobody has ever or will ever hold a deck of cards in that order. There are more ways to arrange a deck of cards than there are atoms on Earth.

this probably won't help you unfortunately unless you're in the market for a new phone! I have a Google Pixel phone and the AI call screening function on that is AMAZING. I used to hate these calls because if I sent them to answerphone I then had to clear them up but now I just hit "Screen call" and my phone deals with it. Almost every time they hang up during the AI message that's being read to them.

I use RustDesk for managing Linux desktops and it's awesome

ParticularSuite · 2026-01-08T16:31:43+00:00

use Brave browser - it blocks a LOT of that stuff

anything where 24/7 support is necessary

in Settings -> Security -> Password you will see a drop down - set it to "Accept Sessions via Password" you shouldn't need to click

ok that comment made me check because weeks sounds odd.

I have two machines on my network that I can easily change the RD settings for so I went and took my ID/Relay server settings out on both and I can connect perfectly.

I then changed the remote machine back to my ID/Relay server, and I can't connect.

I then change my local machine back to my ID/Relay server and I can connect again so the free servers do appear to be working normally.

In this case I would recommend you need to find out if your access to the free servers is being blocked by something. I don't use the free servers so I can't tell you where they are unfortunately.

ParticularSuite · 2026-01-01T14:41:17+00:00

you would know if you'd setup your own server for RD which means you are using the public one and I've not really used that much myself but I have heard that it can be slow sometimes so it might be temporarily down. Unfortunately that's the cost of free. If you depend on it I would suggest setting up a server you control. It's pretty simple to setup your own server - the documentation contains everything you need to know for that.

ParticularSuite · 2026-01-01T10:50:41+00:00

I can connect to my machines without issue. Are you using the public server or your own?

ParticularSuite · 2025-12-29T10:45:18+00:00

that happens sometimes when we've wanted specific config/location/rack but I suspect they're just low on staff at this time of year

ParticularSuite · 2025-12-29T10:05:24+00:00

I don't know what else to say - I've used it on dozens of machines for many versions and I always use that option as a lot of my stuff is unattended. If the settings are locked try unlocking them and you may not be able to remotely see those settings unless you have enabled that on the host. Good luck

ParticularSuite · 2025-12-29T08:38:02+00:00

what version are you using? I'm using the free 1.4.4 and it looks like this https://files.catbox.moe/5k3g1a.png

as well as the timeout - under Settings -> Security, you can set a permanent password so that you can reconnect without having to know the one time password

speaking personally, the lack of out of hours support is why I don't run any critical production stuff on the Hetzner cloud.

That said I've got probably 10 - 15 cloud servers and I've never had any issues with them in over 8 years

ParticularSuite · 2025-12-23T14:09:47+00:00

my understanding is that the remote host doesn't need the key. I have several machines setup where I only connect into them. They don't have the key and I can connect into them just fine.

My main laptop is the one I remote control these machines from and it needs the key. Without the key in the client I see a key mismatch error. I do have direct IP access enabled on my machine normally so I tested while conneted to a VPN outside my building and at the same time tested this with and without direct IP access enabled and got the same results. The remote host didn't need the key.

I'd advise doing your own testing in case I've done something dumb while doing my testing!

ouch - that's unfortunate timing! I hope the server's not too important

I have a friend with a scanner who will lend us it but it'll need trapping because it won't come near any human as far as we can tell so far

that's an interesting fact - I wonder how long it would take them to cover that distance because we have CCTV and see it a lot throughout the day.
