FOSS alternatives for Teamviewer

Sneaky Bastard@feddit.de to Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org – 81 points –

Currently I'm looking for a Teamviewer replacement. I think Rustdesk looks very promising.

It would be important that the software runs on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Android) and is accessible via the cloud, because I also want to install it on my parents' PC, for example, and can't set up a VPN bridge or similar there.

Do you have an opinion on the subject or a tip for me?

I would also look into MeshCentral

Thanks I'll look into it!

I just read that they are sunsetting their own public server so in the future you might need your own server to make use of it. So if that is not something that you want to do that might be a reason to go for RustDesk instead.

It's better to run your own server anyway, and it's pretty easy to setup if you have tech experience.
