Tailscale tangential use case! :)

I was looking for remote access software to help family with their PC and came across RustDesk(https://rustdesk.com/) but it needs a server. Found out it can work without a server if you have Tailscale installed. No fees for any of this and works on many platforms.

Tutorial for Rustdesk + Tailscale setup for remote desktop access: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27apZcZrwks

Yes I figured this out too, you can actually put any IP address you want in the code field for RustDesk, it doesn’t have to be a RustDesk code only.

Oh lovely. How is your experience with RustDesk? Is it better than VNC?
