RustDesk is a powerful open-source remote desktop tool, but self-hosting its servers can require additional configuration, public ports, and keys. Combining RustDesk with Tailscale provides a simpler approach by giving devices authenticated, encrypted Tailnet IP addresses. With RustDesk's direct IP access enabled, computers can connect directly without relying on RustDesk's intermediary servers, making remote desktop access easier to manage across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
