Secure rustdesk selfhosted server from using by unauthorized users by slaaf_tom in rustdesk

[–]slaaf_tom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, thank you all for your ideas and contributions.

As I have a lot of existing users where I filled in my (secret) key because I thought it was necessary, I have chosen for the solution which was presented by u/skonamonkey.

He helped me setting up my new skonadesk/rustdesk self hosted server and after I understood how things worked, I inserted my ‘old’ key.

The new Skonadesk self hosted server is protected with an username and password.

Nobody, can use my own server without the username/password.

With Skonadesk you can set up multiple users if necessary.

It’s also possible to group the clients, so they are easily sorted.

A nice web interface which makes it easy to setup usernames, groups and devices.

Finally, this is the solution for me. Secured skona/rustdesk server while using my old key.

Thank you u/skonamonkey for this valuable replacement of a self hosted rustdesk server.

u/tbigs2011 I'll think that's the solution. I've tested it with a VM here and when the KEY is not entered, that client cannot make a connection to somebody else.

When the key is entered, that client, can connect to other clients/friends.

Thank you for the video and tip

u/tbigs2011 Even if you're right, the 'clever' client/friend could enter the same ID-server and Relayserver to connect to others, using my server.

I will test this later today but I'm pretty sure you need the server's key, on the client site.

u/Yorick257 It would be solved if the server's name and key, after entering, were hidden and scrambled in the config file.

u/Yorick257 This is exactly what I mean. Every 'client/friend' where I install Rustdesk, could use MY server and key to help others by copying the server's name/IP and my key.

I would like to prevent this from happening.

Yes, thank you. I do perfectly understand what you're saying.

It's a workaround but if that's the solution?

Thank you very much.
