Did Anydesk do something shady?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unless you can make it onto their whitelist, the free version of the app kicks you out of sessions after one hour. But most troubling, the paid version only allows a single outgoing connection to a computer. Want to connect to two different computers at the same time? Sorry bub, the license is now twice as expensive. Three computers? Thrice as expensive. Bafflingly, the free version allows you to connect to as many computers as you want at the same time. You actually get punished for paying for their software.

I'm willing to pay for a good service, but doubling the price for concurrent connections is just not sustainable, and it's a recently updated pricing model.

RustDesk offers all the same functionality I need from Anydesk, but it's free.

Edit: I am most certainly not finished with fully evaluating RustDesk as an Anydesk replacement, but after a day of deploying it across several computers, I'm optimistic about it's functionality and accessability.

Running earlier versions of 7, and occasionally deleting %programdata% when they start kicking you off gets around these limitations for now.
