Hi folks,
Been using self hosted rust desk option for a while now. Great program and it’s very easy to use, honestly much more smooth than team viewer which kept logging me out.
Speaking of logging in, it’s now asking me to do that. While I could, I thought since it’s self hosted it wouldn’t need this step and am not thrilled that it would make me rely on big tech still.
I’m self hosting the relay server but it just uses an ip without any certificate, wondering if that’s the reason.
Has anyone hit this issue? Any known fixes besides logging in? Can anyone confirm whether it would be solved if the relay server used a proper domain with https?
Here is the link from the screenshot and as always, thanks in advance. Love this community!

I don’t know, I haven’t hosted RustDesk myself, but it sounds like maybe you’re not actually using your self-hosted server for your clients? Because that message sounds like it’s entirely about “The Public Server” which is not your server. Right?
I suspected that too but I’ve setup the relay server in the settings of both the client device and also the target device.
Can’t help youhere unfortunately, as I would have thought that this is the most likely cause as well.
I’m just commenting to say: Please let us know if you found a solution to the problem. I’m very interested to know what might have caused this.
set it up with wrong address/credentials to see it failing, if it succeeds, it’s not using your relay server
I’ve seen the login warning above, but I don’t self host it myself, so I just logged in
I’d say avoid Rustdesk due to its shady Chinese origins
